Coming of Age: Season of Imagination
The season of life we now call adolescence is a relatively new idea in our understanding of human development. What if we truly recognized this time of life as a time when imagination really takes root in a life and feeds the maturing soul? What if we honored adolescence as a time of blessing rather a period of life to endure? How do we reconnect with the spirit of adolescence, or trying things on? This morning we embrace our Coming of Age youth and imagination.

Theme: Season of Passage
Every May we celebrate and hold the different thresholds of spring. Some of our youth are leaving our community for work or college. Others are completing their work in the Coming of Age program and are living into the beliefs and values they have outlined. Some of us are watching new patterns of church emerge, as we live ever more fully into our mission of giving, receiving and growing. This time of year, we recognize the season of passage and transitions. We honor what has come before, know that we stand on the shoulders of those who have come before, and imagine our faith community into the future.
