[upbeat music] Uh, for those of you who might not know, last week we finished a teaching series, and so this week we're actually starting a new teaching series called Practices of Belonging.
And we're gonna start today by talking about kind of a perhaps an odd or unusual topic, and that is the topic of corporate prayer.
I kinda hate the word corporate to begin with, so like I'm gonna try to say collective instead of corporate, but, you know, we'll see how that goes.
The first is that we're sorta pairing this teaching series with a couple of books.
But I really love the way Miriam, who is a clinical chaplain, mostly works in like a hospital setting, just very effectively walks us through a variety of spiritual practices, and I'm gonna talk to you about one of these today actually.
Or in case you didn't know, we have a lending library here at the Oceanside Sanctuary curated by Beverly.
[clapping] Whoo.
You can search online at our website if you find the little library page and find, you know, the books you're looking for.
The second book that we're pairing with this series is this, uh, This Here Flesh by Cole Arthur Riley.
And it's a bit more like memoir, like a lit- a bit more, um, reflective, a l- a bit less maybe just straightforward explanatory to you from Cole Arthur Riley's book, This Here Flesh, uh, because I think it frames this whole series really effectively.
"Dietrich Bonhoeffer writes, 'In a Christian community, everything depends on whether each individual is an indispensable link in a chain.
