“Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world. The world needs our peace, and the world needs our happiness.” -Thich Nhat Hanh*
On August 26 we will take centering time to reflect on lines from the Gospel of Matthew 16: 21-28, the cost and promise of discipleship. Since our worship for Sunday August 30 may draw on our lectionary with these verses, as we share some quiet, we will see what phrases stick with us, and how we are connecting with this passage. Our last round in the practice helps us each see what God is asking us to do through this text.
Come share a couple minutes in this quiet practice, done in community. These strange coronavirus times are bringing us to be together in contemplation to restore ourselves. We can begin to do this practice as our weekly feast to sustain our Spirits, for the seasons ahead.
Two Wednesdays/month +/or a weekly Friday 10:30 AM Lectio practice, are under consideration. We meet online. Give yourself a quiet half hour in your week, to be with others from Keystone. Bring your Bible. You will get to spend some time with our Sunday texts, for the days leading up.
