Our community exists to open up space intentionally for conversations, for prayer, for healing, for celebration.
Ask, seek, knock - Together
Over the past 20+ years, Verbena has provided space and context for communicating a whole new rhythm of life in work, and play, and rest. It is a spirit of humility and sacramental being. It is rooted in the centrality of the Cross in the transformation of the human soul - the unifying force for wholeness of being and unity among the Body of Christ.
Verbena provides an avenue for these conversations and experiences wherever and with whomever they can be had. They have already begun and that is helping us to begin to get at the heart of it, which we invite you into with us. There are many ways this will be worked out as we keep asking, seeking and knocking together.
“We are warmed by fire, not by the smoke of the fire. We are carried over sea by a ship, not by the wake of a ship. So too, what we are is to be sought in the invisible depths of our own being, not in our outward reflection of our own acts. We must find our real selves not in the froth stirred up by the impact of our being upon the beings around us, but in our own soul which is the principle of all our acts. ”
Resources - Continue the Conversation
We invite you to join us as we ask, seek and knock together. Wholeness of being and wholeness of the Body of Christ - that is our heart's desire. The following links serve as other resources that we have found helpful in directing this conversation and teaching us what questions to be asking of ourselves and others.
