Welcome, brothers and sisters in Christ,
as we gather for
Praise Prayer, Word and Worship!
“The field of love is a relational space—
a fluid, evolving, interpersonal space
that we both discover and create
in relationship with one another.
We access it in our hearts.
It is a sacred space that we inhabit together
as a family or an intimate community.”
Lisa Miller
