What Are We Seeking?

What does it mean to seek, and what are we seeking?  The meaning we each decide to attribute to the word “seeking” can be as individual as we are, and as different as the reasons that brought each of us here.  As part of the creative team for these services, I want to state up front that we are not formally trained in theology, we are not here to persuade you towards any particular religion or spiritual construct, and we do not claim to have the answers.  What we do have and share with you is a deep desire for a stronger connection to God, or Source, or Spirit, whatever you choose to call your God.  And our search frequently draws into inner reflection, before it leads us back out to share our latest experience of God and self-discovery.

This sharing of our personal stories, has become an integral component of our services.  It brings a level of honesty and authenticity to our service when we can share how God is resonating in our lives.  And it is this point I wish to emphasize—you all have your own unique experiences of God or spirit in your lives and they are all valid.  And we hope that you will feel comfortable in giving voice to those experiences.  Because you never know who might be thinking about the very thing you have experienced or who might be seeking another avenue for spiritual exploration that your experience would stimulate.  Our individual differences are our strength and bring a richness to our services that no single leader could provide.
