March 27: Coming Alive - Easter Sunday

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

Easter Sunday is a wonderful time to transform. Are you feeling a little dead lately? Where has your liveliness and/or your zest for living gone? Maybe your life has caused you to feel as if you have gone through a crucifixion of sorts. Maybe you are experiencing being buried in the “stuff of this world.” Join us for a transformation of energy.

March 20: Seeing in the Dark – Rock Sunday

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

Here at Spirit Space we celebrate Palm Sunday by following one of the most important metaphors in the Palm Sunday message. It involves rocks. Each person will receive a rock instead of a palm. Also, Pastor Sherry will be looking at the idea of the Dark Night of the Soul, introduced by John of the Cross.

March 13: In a Perfect World Sleeping Beauty Does Not Snore

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

We were taught that Sleeping Beauty was perfect. This Reasoning is a reflection on the concept of perfection. With the belief of perfection comes judgment, insecurity and a sense of imperfectness. Maybe some religions were created on the myth of perfection. Just maybe authentic connection with God comes with knowing we were created imperfectly perfect.

February 28: The Challenges and Promises of an Interfaith Church

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

Interfaith as a faith offers a spiritual path broad enough to include all and it also offers an alternative to destructive, divisive paths. It is a path for those who would like to learn from the world’s diverse faiths without being pressured to abandon their own. That is the promise. So what is the challenge? Join us for a look at the promises and the challenges. Then ask yourself, “Am I up for a good challenge?”

February 21: Insights from the Gospel of Thomas

Reasoning by Pastor Sherry Petro-Surdel

In the late 1990s, the Gospel of Thomas was discovered. It is quite different from the gospels found in the New Testament. There is a reason as to why the founding church fathers did not allow the Gospel of Thomas to be included in the New Testament. This Gospel is often referred to as the “secret sayings” of Jesus. To read and understand this Gospel, one must want to go deeper spiritually, must not be afraid to ask the tough questions, and must desire to not be blindly led. If this is something you are intrigued by, then you will not want to miss this Reasoning.
