Thus says the Lord: “Stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way lies; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.” –Jeremiah 6:16
Many of our members have picked up Journey Through Lent boxes, packed with love and intention. Each box is filled with art, poetry, writings on food and faith, and other tangible ways to practice spirituality and prayer. There are a limited number of boxes left, and you are welcome to stop by church to pick one up during office hours (Monday - Friday 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.) until we run out.
Will you journey with us this Lent? The path will not always be easy, and like our Lenten boxes, it will be full of new discoveries leading to new life. But first, we must walk along the path. Take time to be here at the crossroads. Sit down under a tree or in your prayer chair, and notice. What comes to you in that deep place when you are alone with God? What “shimmers” for you today? Is it a word, a song, a smell, a taste? Maybe it’s noticing signs of new life beginning to unfurl. Practicing prayerful attention each day, we may see more clearly God’s activity in our lives. As we continue to walk in God’s way, this transforming way of life can help us radiate God’s love in the world.
Blessings and Peace,
Anne Peacock
