Series: Awe
January 11, 2026 | Rev. Brooke Heerwald Steiner
This week we will have our first children's interactive service of the new year. We'll be focusing on awe and wonder as a whole faith community, with children helping lead us in worship. Given the events of this week, I hope that this practice can be a healing and uniting one for all of us. Research shows that the number one instance of inspiration for the emotion of awe is moral beauty. There is a great wisdom to digging deeper into that and searching for moral beauty around us. I hope you'll join us as we explore this together.
Series Information
Awe is the feeling that rises when we encounter beauty, goodness, or mystery and realize we are part of something larger than ourselves. In a culture of speed, certainty, and distraction, awe slows us down, humbles us, and helps us pay attention to what truly matters. This series invites us to rediscover wonder as a spiritual practice—one that awakens compassion, deepens faith, and keeps us present to the world as it is.
