THE BEAUTY OF OUR HEARTS

  • The place of encounter with God is in our hearts, and most of us are not in touch with our hearts; this night is aimed at awakening and stirring our hearts’ longing for the infinite by seeing the sign language of God’s infinite Beauty all around us.


MON, NOV 28th

7:00pm-8:30pm

THE BEAUTY OF OUR STORY

  • Provides a new lens to see the truth of our design, desires, and destiny by exploring scripture, the story of creation, the fall, and Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection through the lens of God’s tireless pursuit of our hearts and desire for ultimate union with us in heaven.


TUES, NOV 29th

7:30pm-9:00pm

THE BEAUTY OF PRAYER

  • The concluding night of this mission invites us to respond to God’s invitation to draw near to His heart and to experience prayer with a new vulnerability and openness.

Free and open to all people of good will.
