Dear Foothills Families,
Here we are, still waiting…waiting for spring, waiting for vaccines, waiting for our children to go back to school, waiting to be together again. In this spirit of waiting, we’re beginning our next worship series, titled “Tough Love.”
We don’t mean “tough love” in that old sense of strict parenting with harsh consequences. We mean tough as in resilient and sustainable, tough love that keeps showing up, even when it’s hard. This kind of tough love helps us to live grounded in our values and enables us to guide our families and partner with others to work for justice and liberation. This kind of tough love also sets boundaries, and must sometimes step away and let go to give ourselves the time and space to recharge. And just in case you haven’t made the connection, “tough love” is the Courageous Love that we talk about in our services every Sunday.
From now until April, we invite your family to join us as we explore “Tough Love” in its many forms. We’ll explore endurance, boundaries, connection, celebration, repair, imagination, persistence, and transformation. These times call for a tough love for ourselves, for our families and for the future vision of the beloved community that we are building together.
Here is a quick summary of our Tough Love Series offerings for families.
