9/7/2025: DRAWN IN WEEK 1: Hover

This Sunday we begin a new worship series called Drawn In, where we’ll explore the deep connections between creativity and spirituality. Far from being just for artists, creativity is woven into our life with God. In the opening verses of Genesis, we find the Spirit of God hovering over the waters of chaos—waiting, watching, and preparing for creation to burst forth. In the Gospel of Luke, we see that same Spirit hovering with Jesus in the wilderness, where uncertainty and temptation become the soil for clarity and mission. Both stories remind us that God’s creative presence is not absent in our own times of emptiness and wilderness.

As we step into this series, we’ll ask: What does it mean to pause with the Spirit instead of rushing ahead? How can our faith be a source of imagination in the midst of uncertainty? Just as God drew beauty out of the formless void and drew Jesus into strength through wilderness waiting, so too God draws us in—inviting us to hover, trust, and open ourselves to the creativity of the Spirit. Join us as we discover together how being “drawn in” can reshape our lives and communities.
