| We at Contemplate Lincoln have a lot to be thankful for as we enter into the holiday season. We have been blessed by the support and presence of so many beautiful souls in our under two years in service to Lincoln. We have been blessed to host webcasts with Richard Rohr and Paul Smith right here in Lincoln. Teach and provide space for transformative contemplative practices. Worship and grow in worship services and sacred Saturdays. Gather and deliver much needed supplies to flood victims. Host gatherings, weddings, celebration of life ceremonies, and neighborhood association meetings. Such blessings indeed and we have more to come this Advent season and in the New Year.
