Relationships are hard.  Relationships in community can be harder still. When being invited into richer, more vulnerable connections with one another, hurts inevitably happen.  Finding our way back to real repair requires more than a simple apology.  In her book, On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg explores the writings of the medieval philosopher Maimonides. Maimonides laid out a very specific process for moving from brokenness to repair -- a process, she says, that could help untangle the most challenging of interpersonal struggles and international disputes.

Heidi Todd, Amy Self and newcomer Joshua Robinson will explore the transformational relationship of art and spiritual experience. Movement, Music and Poetry will be the themes, with participation by the congregation. Jack Doggett will serve as worship leader, with music by Austin Skeffington, Paula Staffeldt and Clint Brown.

Are borders helpful or a hindrance? Can we see beyond what divides us to what makes us whole?
