The Prayer of Planting

“Blow upon my garden that its fragrance may be wafted abroad.” Have you ever planted a garden and even though you know what you put into the ground, still you marvel at the way in which those seeds magically produce beans and squash and tomatoes and peppers and…all the amazing things? Of course it isn’t […]

Holy Food

“If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.” Today, we gather around the table of grace to receive the bread of life and the cup that overflows with blessing and love. It is a holy feast. What if by way of doing prayer we made every meal an extension […]

Sacred Healing

“Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!” I spent a week at Wesley Woods High School Camp recently with a large group of teenagers and every morning and evening we sang. (Don’t worry, we were outside and a strong majority were vaccinated!) We sang contemporary worship songs by the fire with […]

Making Art

We worship a creating God who calls us into this same creative, spiritual energy. Creativity comes from God and is expressed in a myriad of ways and means. Children have this distinctive sense that they are creative and will find ways to express themselves. The trouble is that as we age, we are often not […]

Doing Prayer

This Sunday we explore living by a spirit that calls us to adventure beyond the spoken prayer and embrace that every moment has potential to be holy as we become prayer. Doing prayer means we are desiring to find the place that we are most ourselves and God is fully present. Doing prayer can be […]

Trinity Sunday: An Economy of Freedom and Love

We are members of a divine economy of freedom and love. In this economy there is abundance, there is shared power, there is mutuality and creativity, and most importantly, there is a sharing of life with the very source of our creation. Every year on the Sunday after Pentecost we celebrate Trinity Sunday, the Sunday […]

Dawn Patrol

Dawn Patrol is an intentionally diverse group of men who meet each Wednesday at 9am on Zoom. Books that stimulate the sharing of stories are chosen. Our goal is growing in an understanding about, not only what it means to be a follower of Jesus in a divided world, but also what Christians are called […]

Pentecost: When the Spirit Moves

Pentecost has arrived. It is the fiftieth day or the seventh Sunday from Easter Sunday. As modern Christians we observe Pentecost as a holiday, not to celebrate a wheat harvest, but to remember when the Holy Spirit invaded the church as the story is told in the second chapter of Acts. The Spirit is alive […]
