Everyday Sacred
What if we believed that our daily work and our ordinary routines matter to God? What if we understood that we are all called to be part of God’s redemptive activity in this world? Whether we spend our days in the corporate or professional world or working in the home and caring for family, whether we are retired or a student, it can be hard to believe our work matters. This weekend we will explore what the Bible says about calling, work, and our participation in God’s redemptive activity for the sake of the world. We will also explore practices and habits that help us become aware of God’s presence in the ordinary moments of our daily routines. This weekend is designed for women of all ages and stages of life!
