Zoom Link
You spend your days reminding others of their belovedness. This is thirty minutes to rest in your own. We’ll briefly check in with one another, then sit together in silence — an ancient practice that asks nothing of us but presence. It doesn’t bring us closer to God; Jesus already took care of that. What it does is help us set down the to-do lists, the busyness, the weight of ministry, and practice awareness of something that was never in question. Come as you are. There’s no good practice or bad practice. There is just your practice. We will gather for four session on Zoom beginning September 15 at 9 AM
Invitational Christian Workshope
- Date: Nov 7, 2026
- Time: 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
- Location: New Life Lutheran Church Madison, WI
- Facilitator: Rev. David Daubert
Designed for congregations across our synod, this workshop will equip leaders and members alike to look at how the biblical story grounds our stories as God’s people. It will help people tell their stories and be better at listening to each other’s stories. The goal is to form deeper story communities where people share deeply and faith is nurtured. Through conversation, reflection, and real-life application, you will discover how small, intentional practices can open the door to deeper relationships and spiritual curiosity in your community.
