So many meaningful conversations begin with a simple question and the curiosity to truly listen. This worship series seeks to cultivate courage, curiosity, and connection by asking meaningful questions that arise in Biblical stories. In a time when humanity is easily pulled apart, the topics of this series seek to strengthen our capacity for empathy and compassion. Shaped around guiding questions, our hope is that this series leads us deeper into the heart of the matter—and deeper into connection with God and one another.

“I’ve Been Meaning to Ask … Where Do We Go From Here?”
Acts 10: 1-16
Rev. Lane Cotton Winn, lead pastor
Ultimately, this final question invites us to hope and imagine. Through dreams, visions and holy encounters, we see the minds and hearts of two very different people opened in our scripture reading from the Book of Acts, Chapter 10. Through their courageous conversation, their narrow perceptions of others expand, the Spirit descends upon them, and they share in community and compassion.

“I’ve Been Meaning to Ask … What Do You Need?”
Job 2:11-13
2 Timothy 4:9-18
Rev. Lane Cotton Winn, lead pastor
What we know for certain is that we need each other. How does this question invite us to lean in with curiosity and openness in order to strengthen the connections between us? How does this question invite vulnerability and open heartedness in our relationships? What are scriptural examples of those in need and the people around them who responded in an effort to help? We’ll spend time with Job in the First Testament and Paul in the Epistles as we explore these questions together in worship.
