In this set of two workshops (Feb. 12 and 26th), we will explore how human beings have been wonderfully made by God to sense the world around us. Yet our sensibilities (of sight, smell, taste, sound and touch) are different. How do we do life as Christian community to make space for all of us?

In this workshop we will take a look at the different ways that human brains learn - visual, spatial, auditory, aural, kinesthetic, and/or tactile. Together we will explore the ways that Christian community can pass down the teachings of Jesus so that each of us can experience God in a meaningful way.
