2018/10/07 ● The Rev. Dena McPhetres ● All Your Heart Longs to Set Down

Every Sunday, we welcome people into our beautiful sanctuary and community by saying “we welcome all your heart longs to set down.” Sanctuary is a refuge, a respite, a place where we can set down our burdens and gain renewed strength to pick them up again. When times are tough, I remind myself that I carry my sanctuary within – an oasis of wholeness that is always there, even when outer conditions are frantic, scary or burdensome. How do we create inner sanctuary for all the parts of ourselves, even the parts we don’t like?
