Lenten program 2018
MAKING SPACE (FOR GOD)
Lent can be seen as letting go . . . of the unimportant to find our souls. SO think about the exercise of decluttering for Everybody: Kids, Families, Solos
4 Weeks
4 Books/Audiobooks to choose from
4 Dinners 5:30 Wednesdays 2/21,2/28, 3/7, 3/14
Premise: Some (!) of us have too much clutter-papers, books, clothes, sports equipment- need I list any more? The process of decluttering frees our spirits, our space, our time, our activities.
Process: If you are interested, go to nextavenue.org/decluttering-experimentpart-1/ This is a four part article with insight, humor, and great advice. The author, Heidi Raschke, suggests 4 books (pick one, some, none- you can do this without a book and only the article but . .):
* The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering
by Marie Kondo Approach: start with “tops” – shirts and tops and rate the joy
* Unstuffed: Decluttering Your Home, Mind and Soul
by Ruth Soukup Approach: family oriented
* The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything Your Own
by Joshua Becker Approach: Minimalist: living with the minimum stuff (decreases maintenance) and gives time for what is important things like family and adventure and allows generosity to surface
* The Joy of Less
by Francine Jay Approach: making a home/space is more valuable than stuff How: sorting room by room)
But help!!! YOU KNOW places to take our clutter. Please email me with your best spots.
No sign-up necessary. Bring a dish and an item (real or virtual) that tells a story of your previous week’s decluttering adventure.
LABYRINTH WALK
The Labyrinth walk is a metaphor for the journey to your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools. They have one path into the circle and one path out. Walking the Labyrinth involves intuition, creativity and imagery. We are all on a path and the Labyrinth is a model of that path. St. Luke’s has its own Labyrinth that is available for walking twice a year. Come join our next walk on Saturday February 10, 10am to noon.

The next DOWF will be Tuesday, February 20, place TBA. Call Lynne Spillum at
