2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Breachmenders
"It was a difficult time ... oh wait. 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.' Sure that could describe last week, this week, or any week. Yet so much depends on perspective ... and perhaps the street you live on. On my street, and apparently in much of Upper Arlington, the big problem is recyclables blowing into the street from open recycle containers. I'm not sure that is as much of a significant problem on other streets in other neighborhoods around Columbus. And so we run into Isaiah, again. You shall be called menders of the breach and restorer of the streets. This is the last phrase in a section on spiritual disciplines: worship, fasting. And the Lord comes down to this: mending and restoring. And I suspect we're not talking about fixing potholes. Let's discover what Isaiah had in mind."
Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It can be a day for action and reflection on making The Dream a reality.

Led by Jacqui Buschor. Join us as we explore ideas of contemplative action, learn to know ourselves in a way that helps us be more fully present to those we serve, and to get out of our own way as we seek the Kingdom of God among “the least of these.”

Jan. 16–Feb. 13, 7pm, Lounge
The 12 Steps (used in recovery programs) are powerful spiritual tools for all of us. Franciscan monk Richard Rohr uses them, as do many psychologists, spiritual directors, and people dealing with life's “unmanageability.” In five weeks, we’ll explore the 12 steps as tools for drawing closer to God, living with integrity, and becoming free from old, destructive patterns. Led by
Tracy Keenan.
