In times of stress and anxiety, are there practices such as deep breathing that can be used to connect with greater wisdom? This week, we discuss embracing the spirit of love and bringing positive energy into the world. Join us to celebrate Pentecost and even rediscover the church as a revolutionary movement of love, focusing on living in the way of Jesus.

We will celebrate the promise of Easter that “Love Wins” exploring how we are called to create a ruckus for good in our community and in throughout the world.
