Open small group tonight September 2
“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 September 2 we will take centering time to reflect on lines from the Gospel of Matthew 16: 21-28, that hold the theme of the cost and promise of discipleship. This passage comes to us in our lectionary this month. We will share some quiet, and then share three rounds of seeing what phrases stick with us, and how we connect with this passage. Our last round in the practice leads us each to find what God is asking us to do through this text.
Come share a couple minutes tonight, for this simple meditative practice, done in community. These strange coronavirus times are bringing us to be together in contemplation to restore ourselves. If we want, this could become a weekly feast to sustain our Spirits, for the seasons ahead. We usually sit with the text for the coming Sunday worship.
Fridays @ 10:30 AM is one time being considered, starting October.
Also please mark another Wednesday eve, September 23, we will practice again 6:30- 7 pm!
Bring a Bible if you like. Or just listen as others rotate reading.
