Sacred Circles, Sacred Spirals
This Lent, Salt and Light will return to our community organizing roots by reconnecting with one another through the sacred practice of “one-to-ones”. In these 40 days of Lent, all Salt and Light members are invited to hold four one-to-one conversations with each other, asking and responding to crucial questions about belonging, grief and community. We will take time in Sunday services to connect with each other and reflect on the fabric that keeps us together.
