Spiritual Lives at Lawrence

Shared Stories

No two stories are alike, and telling a story is connecting with others.

You are invited to explore the video series for yourself and consider how your shared story would look.  Telling your spiritual story means sharing a part of your identity.

The Spiritual Lives at Lawrence video series allows members of the Lawrence community an opportunity to let their story be known, and to let others into this special part of their identity.

Consider what your spirituality means to you, what your journey has been, and sign up to be a part of the series.
