In the Psalms, you can often find a notation in italics interspersed between the stanzas — Selah.
The Psalms were the original hymnbook of the Israelites and Selah was a notation that told the worshippers it was time to breathe. We are excited that the Selah Spiritual Life Center will do that same thing for people in our community, reminding them to take a breath in the midst of this life, to connect more deeply with themselves and their God.
Mission Statement

Beauty in the Broken: A Journey of Healing and Wholeness
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." —Psalm 147:3
Wednesday, February 25 from 6:00 to 8:30 pm
Brokenness touches every life—through loss, disappointment, pain, or the quiet ache of unspoken wounds.
But what if those very fractures could become places of unexpected beauty?
In this reflective class, we’ll explore biblical and personal stories of brokenness and healing,
discovering how God meets us not in spite of our wounds, but right in the midst of them.
Together, we’ll practice the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi, mending broken pottery with gold, as a sacred
metaphor for the way God restores our lives—not by erasing the damage, but by making it part of our beauty.
Come and affirm this truth: your scars can tell a story of strength, resilience, and grace.
There is beauty in the broken—because God is there.

The Tears of Things: A Study on Compassionate Living in a Hurting World by Richard Rohr
Thursdays at 6:30 PM | April 9 – June 11
How do we live with compassion in a time marked by injustice, sorrow, and despair?
Join us for a study of Richard Rohr’s most personal work, The Tears of Things, as we explore the wisdom
of the Jewish prophets and their journey from outrage to lament—and ultimately, to love.
Through sacred conversation, spiritual reflection, and Rohr’s insights on “sacred criticism,” we’ll uncover how
ancient voices can guide us toward deeper empathy, honest faith, and courageous hope in the world today.
All are welcome to this thoughtful and timely exploration.

the unique challenges and responsibilities of caring for a loved one.
We gather to share stories, offer mutual support, and rest in the presence of compassion.
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, and often we simply breathe together.
This is a space to be supported, to be seen, and to be reminded that your care matters.
Whether you’re exhausted or just in need of someone who “gets it,” this group is here to walk with you.
Come.
Rest.
Be heard.
You don’t have to carry this alone.

Each evening includes a potluck meal, followed by a short prayer and activity time designed to nourish the soul.
There’s no pressure—just a warm table, open hearts, and space to be fed in body and spirit.

Creative Collective | A Shared Space for Inspired Making
May 20 from 10 am to 12:00 pm
Heritage Presbyterian Church
"Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands." —Psalm 90:17
Become part of our ongoing Creative Collective, a gathering for all who long to create in a shared space,
on the third Wednesday of the month from 10 am to 12 pm.
Whether you knit, draw, paint, stitch, sculpt, or simply want to sit in the presence of others who make—this is a space for you.
We begin each session with a prayer to center ourselves in the Source of all creativity, and then we work side by side—each person
engaged in their own practice, gathered as companions on the creative journey.
There’s no pressure to perform or produce—just space to pause, reflect, and make something meaningful.
Come take a pause from the busyness of life.
Come create.
