Seek

In Seek, we’ll discuss the following questions, among others;

what does healthy and unhealthy faith look like?
what are some of the distinct benefits and questions that Jesus-centered faith raises?
what life-giving spiritual practice might look like in the 21st century?

Seek welcomes the stories, perspective, questions, and opinions of all participants. This is a story and experience based conversation, not a curriculum to persuade you of any elements of faith you don’t want in your life.
Seek is perfect for people exploring faith for the first time or looking for a new faith that makes sense to them. People of all religious backgrounds, and no religious background at all, are welcome.
Seek will meet from 1-3:30 on three consecutive Sundays, September 17, 24 and Oct 1. A free and – we hope – delicious lunch will be included. Given the conversation-based nature of this experience, please plan on attending all three sessions, unless of course, you aren’t happy with the experience, in which case you’re welcome to move on.
Contact us with questions or interest at seek@reservoirchurch.org, or click here to register.
