Homily Title: Reconstructing Sunday School: From Literal Fear to Imaginative Love
While many of the ideas and practices handed down to us about God and the church may have shifted, there is something about Jesus we still find compellingly beautiful. Often, after letting go of what wasn’t working, we struggle to find a way forward that shapes our lives to mirror the Beloved Community of God.
Special guest, Sarah Swartzendruber, co-pastor at Cascade Church in Portland, OR continues our Fall Vision series, Reconstructing Rhythms, by exploring how we relate to the faith that was handed down to us and how we might reimagine more loving and holistic ways of sparking faith conversations and formation with kids in our lives. [Mark 1:10-13]
Reflection
- If you were in faith spaces as a kid or student, what messages were you given about God?
- What “tips or solutions” would you add for moving away from “fear-based” theology?
- If you could teach your childhood self one message about God, what would it be?
