Adult Education Replay - Peace Is...Being Playful
Adult Education Series: Peace Is...
Week 1 - Being Playful
Leader: Annalise Hume
Have you ever considered play as a practice of presence or perhaps even a prerequisite for worship? When we play, we lose ourselves in the moment; nothing else matters. When we play we are fully present. Jaco Hamman writes, "Being play-full encourages us to be mindful about our reality and engage it with all our heart, mind, and soul--with our whole being. Serious persons, of course, might think that being play-full is frivolous, even a sign of immaturity, forgetting that play-fullness is a sign that God's shalom, God's reign of peace and justice, has set in."
Our guest teacher this week is Annalise Hume.

In her work, Annalise teaches an embodied faith that shows every story, experience, and dynamic is a way into the movement of God in our lives.
