Join Us on a Journey of Spiritual Storytelling

Our connection with the Divine is a gift for us to cherish and share with those around us. But that’s not always easy for us to do. When it comes to weighty emotions and powerful experiences, it can be difficult to find the right words to express ourselves. And that is certainly true when it comes to our faith story. That’s why we’ve developed Finding Your Stories of Faith to help you uncover new ways to connect with your spirituality while developing confidence to share your faith with those around you.

Each week includes a scripture to meditate on, a theme to connect to, and prompts to allow you to explore different forms of expression. The chosen scriptures contain stories that uncover the ways that people of the past found redeeming grace that led to undeniable change. Our hope is that you discover within these stories that same redeeming grace. 

As you fill these pages, we hope that you will claim your spiritual life – where you’ve been, where you are, and where you hope to grow – so that your story might also be one of redeeming grace and undeniable change for the better: for you, your family, and friends, for the benefit of your community, and for the hope of the world.

Lent, Holy Week & Easter at First Church San Diego

Join First United Methodist Church of San Diego for a journey of exploration as we consider the stories that change us during this special season. Through Sunday worship, special services, and spiritual growth opportunities, we’ll lean into the idea that what Jesus did while he walked on the earth can save us, even now, and we seek to find ourselves in these stories.
