As we conclude our “Beguiled by Beauty” series, Week 6 focuses on moving From Beauty to Compassion and Justice. This week, we explore how encountering beauty in the world inspires us to act with compassion and seek justice for others.
In this week’s video, Dr. Wendy Farley reflects on how beauty can be a catalyst for meaningful action, guiding us to embody love through service and advocacy. Our Contemplative Practice invites young worshippers to connect with God through sharing, gratitude, and acts of kindness, reminding us that God’s love is ever-present and steady, like a strong mountain.
Grace to You,

Minister of Faith Formation
Weekly Contemplative Practice for Young Worshippers (of all ages!!)
Contemplative practices are like special ways to talk and listen to God. It's like having a quiet time with a good friend where you share your heart and listen to what they have to say. We can find God in everything around us, and these special ways help us to notice and appreciate God's love.
These weekly exercises are written for and used as the Young Worshipper’s message during the Sunday worship gathering, but are great for all ages!
