Spirituality and Wellness Series, 2011-2012

Sometimes our lives feel like a race from one goal to the next as we pursue that ephemeral sense of Happiness:

If I could just get that job...
If I could just find that special relationship...
If I could just lose those 10 pounds...

Then, I will be happy! How does all of this relate to our spiritual journey? As we race along, we often miss the meaningful moments along the way. The ancient Hebrews celebrated "Dayeinu," roughly translated, "it is enough." We can perhaps imagine that, as they wandered in the wilderness, God gave them water, and manna, and the concept of Dayeinu: If God never gives us any other gifts, what has come before was enough."

We invite the St. Luke's community and all interested others to join us in the Fellowship Hall for the 2011/2012 Spirituality & Wellness series to explore strategies for finding peace and contentment. Our three sessions will take an honest look at what drives us to pursue happiness, which is usually slightly beyond our reach at any given moment. Life often surprises us; we don't expect to be where we are. How do we find peace in the moment?

Chasing Happiness: October 4, 2011, 6:30-8:30pm

Dr. Andi Pusavat will help us find practical ways to look at the hard things and the joyful things in our lives and to find meaning in them all.

Finding Wellness: January 17, 2012, 6:30-8:30pm

Rev. Jerry Herships will lead us with humor on an exploration of the different stages in our lives, including those challenging transitions. We'll consider ways to validate and celebrate what has come before, where we are right now, and where we want to go next.

Maintaining Wholeness: March 6, 2012, 6:30-8:30pm

Together, Dr. Andi and Rev. Jerry will facilitate a conversation about living intentionally and embracing all aspects of who we are with acceptance and gratitude. We'll explore what "a life well-lived" means to each of us, and how faith can help us experience joy in the present and guide us to wholeness.
