The session will cover the basic premise of FBCED (Faith Based Community & Economic Development) and focus on the three R's: re-location, re- distribution and reconciliation. Reading between sessions will help participants prepare for discussion and deeper learning. The amount of pages depends on how much a person wants to learn. The other homework if any will happen organically as a result of class discussion.

Each week we will dwell in scripture surrounding a particular theme and explore how God speaks to us through images. We will do structured visio divina led by Pastor Jae and we will also share images that we snapped or created throughout the week with each other and how it made us reflect on the scripture or theme of the week. Participants will get the scripture and theme 1-week ahead of time.

Homework: Each week, read the selected scripture and snap one or more photos that speak to the theme/scripture and/OR create (i.e. draw, sketch, or paint) your image. Note: You do not need to be highly skilled at drawing or photography, you just need an interest in how God's goodness can be revealed to us through images and art.

We will use science, scripture, short videos, and discussion to understand the causes and effects of the climate crisis, and how we are called to respond as Christians. We will discuss how we know that humans are causing climate change, why it has been so difficult for us to respond the crisis, and how our faith can shape our response. We will look at how the crisis is affecting our young people, how it affects vulnerable communities around the world, and how that is the basis for our call to respond.

Note: Access to the internet will be helpful to participants as videos, internet resources, and additional readings will be recommended between meetings.

An intentional, contemplative space for mothers where we can gather together to reflect on our identity as children of God, our relationship with God, and how motherhood impacts and is impacted by both.  There will be space for silence, reflection, and group processing as we push into this stressful and holy call we have in common with each other.  Open to anyone who identifies as mother and wants a space to explore this role with others.
