In our personal lives\, boundaries are in important way we connect healthily with other human beings. They allow us to tend to our needs and create clear expectations in relationship. \n\n\n\nThe same is true in congregations. Our covenant might be thought of as a set of positive boundaries about what we co-create. There might be other boundaries that enable us to establish safe and brave space with one another. \n\n\n\nThis 90-minute interactive experience will explore the healthy use of boundaries.
