Hidden Mysteries - A Prayer
Loving God,
 I do not know
 What today will bring
 Only that You bring the day
 In marvels unfolding
 Their frequency hiding
 Mysteries taken for granted
 Unless I slow to savor.
 
So, grant me grace to still
 Into the littlest of things
 Ordinary in ordering
 The unusual and unseen
 Except as revealed 
 By others willing to wait
 And watch and wonder
 At Your constellation
 Of extraordinaries hidden
 Beneath and beyond 
 A world so close 
 It breathes within.
Yes, Love,
 Form me anew in awe
 At all that forms 
 This universe unfolding
 In every moment 
 Bearing love even in death
 Whose grip is the soil
 Of Your perpetual rise
 In beginnings often unseen.
 
Free me from myself
 In order to celebrate 
 The gift of others 
 And all Your spirit forms 
 By Your presence in them
 Already joining everyone
 In cosmic connections
 Too numerous to name
 Except by the Word, 
 Holding the world
 Naming everything
 And everyone Beloved.

ENLIVEN
Enliven is a series of virtual courses that create community and conversation around spiritual life, and encourage individuals to learn, grow and share together. Check out the course that are being offered in October below!
During Annual Gathering participants had the opportunity to learn and discern during 10 different workshops. One of our workshops, "A Reason for Hope" introduced an online anti-racism curriculum from the Council for Health and Human Services Ministries supporting the work of the Conference Anti-Racism Network, with Rev. Michael Howard. You can watch the recording by clicking on the video below.
