February 2024: "A Home for the Heart"
This February gathering explored home not as a physical place or external condition, but as an inner reality, a sanctuary of belonging, safety, and presence that can be accessed even in the midst of uncertainty and change. Through story, prayer, spiritual insight, and lived wisdom, each speaker illuminated a different doorway into remembering where the heart truly rests.
Together, these teachings reveal that home is not something we must create or earn, but something we remember through relationship with God, with one another, and within ourselves. Whether facing storms, family dynamics, healing journeys, or the call to serve, this event offers a gentle invitation to return again and again to the place where love dwells.
