Conversational Sermons:
These podcast style "sermons" are offered in a conversational format every week between different faith and clergy leaders in the Oak Grove and Milwaukie Community. They are pre-recorded and available in video format or audio, so you can listen to them any time!
Sunday Morning Community:
If you are craving live, engaged sermons or conversations on Sunday morning, we have a few options here:
This virtual gathering via Zoom provides space for groundedness, conversation, and communion. Click for time and Zoom info!
Oak Grove United Methodist does a live-stream sermon, complete with music and children's time every Sunday morning. Click the link to go to their FB page where they share their 10:30 am livestream!
These resources are at-home, family-friendly ways of engaging with the stories of the faith! They can be used in conjunction with our Zoom Gatherings or they can be a stand-alone that you can mix and match to fit your needs.
If you're in need of some virtual face-to-face prayer and support, Pastor Heather at Oak Grove UMC is hosting two Check-In and Pray Zoom meetings twice a week, 7 pm on Wednesdays and 9 am on Thursdays.
The Circle is a time for millennial and young adults to connect around shared values, meditation, community and ritual, and has been moved to Zoom for the foreseeable future.
If you're feeling spiritual isolated and confused, the Franciscan Spiritual Center has spiritual direction available via Zoom or phone with many wonderful spiritual directors available to walk beside you in this confusing time.
One of the best ways we can show love to our community right now is to stay at home, but that doesn't mean that your home is not a sacred space in itself. Follow the links below for instructions on how to make your own sacred space, along with info for a FREE workshop about making holy space in your home (2 hours over 2 classes, May 14, 2020 3:00 pm, May 21, 2020 3:00 pm- register at the link)
Are you looking for more artistic inspiration during these challenging times? Would you like to share encouragement to others but don’t know how?
