The
word on my star is "unity." It's deceptively easy to say that I believe in unity, much more difficult to think through. How can I be united with people of differing backgrounds, experiences, or even beliefs? Can I be unified with those with whom I disagree? Frankly, it seems easier for me to note differences than to find the essential, but nebulous, quality that unifies me with
them
. Yes, I
believe
that we are unified. I have to
hope
that we can proceed from the unity
we
enjoy to unity with all.
"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
~
Colossians 3:13-14

For Epiphany this year, we distributed "star words" in worship -- stars cut out of paper with a word printed on them. Like the star that guided the wise men to the baby Jesus, the word is meant to serve as a kind of spiritual guide throughout the year. During the season of Eastertide, our evotionals will be written by members of the congregation, sharing the impact their star words have had on their lives so far this year. If you would like to receive a star word or provide an evotional reflecting on your star word, please contact Amy Starr Redwine at
