Taking the Flag: The Finish Line

Black & White: Part 2 of 2
The Indianapolis 500 isn’t the only contest in the month of May where the racer crosses the finish line. We know it's a season of big finishes. School ends and our graduates prepare for the next step on the adventure. Teachers finish the year and pack up the classroom for summer. Many of the year-long activities from book clubs to sports leagues finish the season and take a break over the summer. This Sunday, we will take a look at what it means to finish a race and how we can celebrate in the winners' circle, then plan our next race. Join us Sunday for "Taking the Flag: The Finish Line."

Life’s storms—both external and internal—test our resilience, but they also offer an opportunity for transformation. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, this reflection explores how brokenness can lead to renewal, strength, and deeper purpose. Discover strategies for navigating challenges with mindfulness, self-care, and faith, and trust that in every fracture, light finds its way in.
