Adult Ministries
Sustenance for the Weary Soul
Courage & Resilience in Challenging Times
This 7-part online series will be offered at NO COST for members and friends of Holy Trinity. Sessions will be held two different times every other week for 90 minutes on Wednesday evenings (6:30 – 8 pm) and Thursday midday (11:30 am – 1 pm). Knowing the importance of human connection, especially in these times of physical distancing, we will gather online (via Zoom) in cohorts of around 12 people each.
The series will be led by experienced Circle of Trust® facilitator Dr. Chris Johnson, who will help us to:
- name and hold our emotional responses to the significant challenges of our time.
- practice crucial skills and capacities of mind, heart, and body that help us live into these challenges.
- enhance our ability to understand complex and interdependent systems and to treasure the wisdom of diverse perspectives.
- remember and practice awe, astonishment, and gratitude.
- be held by a remarkable Holy Trinity community of mutual support, inspiration, and positive relationship.
You may also register by contacting Jamie in the church office at 952-758-3513. Once we have your registration, Chris will send you some short pre-readings and the information to connect to the sessions via Zoom.
