Circle of Grace: Restorative Practices in the Way of Jesus | Short Circle with Rev. Charlene Wingate
Over three powerful sessions, we’ll journey into the sacred intersection of faith, healing, and justice, exploring how restorative practices such as repairing harm, restoring relationships, and making room for both accountability and forgiveness are not just modern ideas but are deeply rooted in the teachings and life of Jesus. Each session offers a prayerful blend of Scripture, storytelling, and real-life tools that will help you live out God’s vision of justice grounded in grace, truth, and transformation. Through open-hearted conversation and reflection, we’ll discover how Jesus’ way of justice restores dignity, fosters repentance, and brings healing to individuals and communities alike. This series is for anyone longing to be part of God’s healing work in the world. All you need is a listening spirit and a desire to see justice done in love.
Short Circles are two to three week classes, held on Zoom and led by Riverside clergy and ministerial staff. These classes will allow our Riverside community to connect around various topics and themes, deepening their faith and spirituality, and getting to know one another and the Riverside clergy team.
