Last Sunday Jo Leuhmann explored finding joy through pleasure & freedom. It was a great discussion and in case you missed it, a link to the sermon is below. As a practice, she invited us to take some time to write down the things we genuinely want. As in, what are the things you really want in your life? What have you been afraid to admit out loud for fear of self-judgment and/or judgment from others? In short, due to fear and shame, what pleasures are you resisting in your ...own lives? Like every week, we'd love to know how this went for you? We invite you to share and we look forward to hearing from you! And as for this week, we'll have Chris preaching to close out the series on joy and turn us to the Lenten season. #cgnycjoy #cultivatingjoy #morningchurch #antiracistchristian #brunchchurch #love #divinemystery #faith #postevangelical #nyc #nycchurch #openandaffirming #progressivechristianity #exvangelical #postevangelical #gaychristian #church #affirmingchurch #FaithfullyLGBT #openandaffirming #love #cgnyc #commongroundchurch #sermonseries #zoomchurch #virtualchurch #virtualchurchservice #digitalchurch (https://mailchi.mp//this-week-at-common-ground-l0lztjs0ir-)

Last week we introduced our new series on joy, and we invited all to practice a posture of notice - committing new eyes & new attention to all that's around us. For those who have been practicing this, what did you notice? What surprised you? What made you curious? Did something you notice bring adventure or wonder? As we mentioned last week, we hope you can share your experiences tomorrow in worship. Come with whatever stories and reflections you have as we continue this con...versation. See you at 11AM!

Welcome to a new year with Common Ground, and with the start of a new year comes a new sermon series. For the next six weeks we'll be exploring joy. We're excited for this discussion and all the practical steps we can build together to foster a more joyful, joy-filled life together. Hope you can join for the convo & we'll see you at 11AM! ...
