…through Small Things
19th March 2023
Our lives are made of many small moments. Is God present in all? Are you curious about your neglected stories? Could they be transformative?
Explore with Chelsea Size.
Chelsea Size, a minister in the Uniting Church, has previously worked in the field of narrative practice, and had much to do with First Nations people in regional communities, which helped shape her own narrative and story.
Join her, as she considers how God could be present even in the small, ordinary moments of our lives. How might we become more curious about the neglected stories of our daily lives in ways that are life-shaping and life enriching?
