Did you Know…
COS has two different classes offered before morning worship this fall?
Looking for thoughtful, intentional spaces to foster your spiritual growth? Join us in the Living Room on Sundays for the 9 am Hour at COS.
Two different 9am classes will be offered this fall beginning September 22:
“Contemplate” with Harry will meet one week.
“Cultivate” with Ruth will meet the following week.
(No class will be offered on Sept. 29 due to COS camping weekend.)
Contemplate: A Study of Julian of Norwich’s Revelations of Divine Love
Discover the profound wisdom of Julian of Norwich’s “Revelations of Divine Love” in our intimate biweekly study group this fall.
Join us as we explore this groundbreaking work—the first known book in English written by a woman—and delve into its surprising and radically optimistic vision of sin, suffering, salvation and, most of all, God’s love.
We’ll read, discuss, and meditate on Julian’s insights, allowing her 14th-century mystical experiences to illuminate our modern spiritual journeys.
This group, led by Harry Plantinga, will meet Sunday mornings at 9:00 am, every other week, from September 22 to December 15. A copy of Revelations of Divine Love is required for this class. Copies are available in the café at the special COS price of $10.
Cultivate: Spiritual Practices to Nurture Our Souls
Each Cultivate gathering will focus on a spiritual practice–some ancient, some newer, some involving creativity or movement.
Gatherings will include moments of guided silence and opportunities for you to be present to God through the practice, with the option to share some reflections with the rest of the group.
You’ll leave with ideas for continuing the practice at home.
Any resources needed for these sessions will be provided during each session so no need to prepare in advance.
The fall sessions, led by Ruth Lemmen, will meet Sundays at 9 am, every other week, from Oct. 13-Dec. 22 and will center on the theme of God and us.
