Tonight is our second Wednesday eve of Lectio Divina. Drop in any of these next practice dates too: September 2 and 23.
“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*
Tonight August 26 we will take centering time to reflect on this Sunday’s coming passage from the Book of Exodus 3: 1-15, Moses at the burning bush. This is our worship text from our lectionary for Sunday August 30. It raises a question, is it possible to duck out? Do we think we are not summoned? What if God calls us by name? Calls all of us who follow from the faith of Moses?
We will share some quiet, & see what phrases stick with us, & how we connect with this passage. Lectio Divina practice leads us through 3 go-arounds. The last question prompts what we each see God asking us to do, through this text.
Come share a quiet 30 minutes in this practice, done in community. These strange coronavirus times have brought a few Keystone members out to help design this kind of regular contemplative time to restore ourselves. The first was August 5.
Tonight we can vote for this practice to be a weekly feast to sustain our Spirits, for the seasons ahead (a Friday morning 10:30 AM? or?) And for September, we already have two more Wednesday eves cued up for the month: mark your calendars: September 2 and September 23. We meet online, 6:30-7 pm.
Bring your favorite Bible for this mid week meditative time. We will get to steep a little in our coming Sunday texts! Questions welcome: Pastor Lauren: lauren.cannon@keystoneseattle.org
Sign on is emailed out, so if you don’t have it yet- just give Lauren a shout!
