What’s in this download?

Coming out of a very difficult and uncomfortable year and a half, many of us are swirling in emotions, feeling all kinds of things…all at once. In this PDF, you’ll find a print-ready collection of encouraging affirmations to help you walk through it all.

Send an encouraging word to a friend, put an affirmation in your child’s lunchbox, drop one off at a neighbors’ house (with or without your famous homemade brownies.) Slip a kind word to a co-worker or pass one to someone you run into at school or grocery shopping. You can sign it…or not…whatever works for you. You might even want to print an extra set and put them in a jar on your kitchen table to take…as needed.

WCC_LENT_OPENINGS

Navigating this weird, coming-out-of-the-pandemic time…together.

This download was created originally for our church family at Winnetka Congregational Church, a non-denominational, LGBTQ-inclusive, family-friendly, justice-oriented, progressive church just north of Chicago.

At Winnetka Congregational we’re dedicated to being a faith community that is inclusive, open-minded, and whole-heartedly invested in creating a space where people know they are loved, they matter and they belong. A community where you can bring all of who you are. And be honest about the realities you’re experiencing in the world and in your lives.

We’ll be talking about the swirl many of us currently find ourselves in throughout the summer, and we’d love for you to join us sometime. Our building is easily accessible if you’re in the Chicagoland area. And this summer, on Sundays at 9 am Central, we’ll be worshipping together on the front lawn if the weather’s good or in the sanctuary if the weather’s not. (Or you could join our online Sunday gatherings, 10 am Central on YouTube.)

Feel free to check us out anytime.
