  <description>Sunday, November 14, 2021 | Sermon Series: I've Been Meaning to Ask... | Pastor Michelle continues with the final of the four simple questions in this sermon and conversation series: Where do we go from here?
I'VE BEEN MEANING TO ASK...
A Sermon &amp;amp; Conversation Series
Some of the best conversations start with good questions—questions we’ve been meaning to ask, questions that keep us curious, and questions that lead us deeper into courage and connection.
This fall, as we continue to regather, and as the challenges to becoming beloved community once again still prove to be complex and endless, we'll be asking four simple questions together, meant to help us behold each other as images of the divine and strengthen our capacity for listening, empathy, and compassion.
I've been meaning to ask...
...where are you from?
...where does it hurt?
...what do you need?
...where do we go from here?
Through vulnerability and authenticity, may our courageous conversations lead us to glimpse hope, joy, and beauty—and to become the community God created us to be.

I'VE BEEN MEANING TO ASK...
A Sermon &amp;amp; Conversation Series
Some of the best conversations start with good questions—questions we’ve been meaning to ask, questions that keep us curious, and questions that lead us deeper into courage and connection.
This fall, as we continue to regather, and as the challenges to becoming beloved community once again still prove to be complex and endless, we'll be asking four simple questions together, meant to help us behold each other as images of the divine and strengthen our capacity for listening, empathy, and compassion.
I've been meaning to ask...
...where are you from?
...where does it hurt?
...what do you need?
...where do we go from here?
Through vulnerability and authenticity, may our courageous conversations lead us to glimpse hope, joy, and beauty—and to become the community God created us to be.
