Spiritual Growth Opportunities
Awakenings: A Recovery Worship Experience
First Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm ET on Zoom
​
This is a faith community from around the nation that blends the gift of recovery found in programs such as the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and the power of the Christian faith. Anonymity is expected.
Sojourners
Join a group of “Sojourners” who meet on Wednesday evenings to engage in discussions on topics promoting spiritual growth. For Lent we will be exploring Marching from Pain to Possibility: A Six Film Series on the Journey through the Wilderness of Woundedness.
​
Pain proposes perplexing questions: What is the meaning of pain? How can I survive it? What do I do with it? Thankfully, Lent offers a way of grappling with the unintelligibility of pain; it invites us to look at our lives and our deepest longings for healing, restoration, and fulfillment. Our Lenten film series invites us to enter into a journey of making sense of our deepest desires that comes from pain and woundedness. The curriculum that follows each film offers ways to reflect and find that place of pain, and at the same time, that place of wholeness and healing. Practices will be suggested as invitations to examine both our wounds and the wounds of others and see how we might bring peace and healing. The desert is a place void of easy fixes, but it can also be where we find who we truly are. Sojourners meets on Zoom every Wednesday except for the first Wednesday of each month. There is no preparation required. We’d love to have you join us.
You are somebody. This is your journey; welcome to Sojourners!

Soul Food
Sundays at 11:30 (after worship) in-person and on Zoom.
Join us after worship—either in person or online—for Soul Food, our time for scripture discussion. This time is an opportunity to discuss the scripture used for worship and savor its meaning for each of us in our own lives. It’s also an opportunity for making friends and building community here at Williston-Immanuel.
