Series: I've Been Meaning To Ask
Where Does It Hurt?
May 07, 2023 | Rev. Hilary Marchbanks
Some of the best conversations start with good questions—questions we’ve been meaning to ask, questions that keep us curious, and questions that lead us deeper into courage and connection. Over five weeks, we are gathering around five guiding questions: Where are you from? Where does it hurt? What do you need? What brings you joy? Where do we go from here? As you can see, these questions aren’t surface-level; they invite us to tell our stories, share our pain, care for one another, and dream about a beautiful future together.
May this series help us to behold each other as images of the divine. May it help us strengthen our capacity for empathy and compassion. May it remind us of the power of unassuming questions. May it show us that courage is rooted in the heart. Through vulnerability and authenticity, may our conversations lead us to glimpse hope, joy, and beauty—and to become the community God created us to be.
