Seeking: Will you Give me a Drink?
In the heat of midday, Jesus seeks out a Samaritan woman drawing water from a well. "Will you give me a drink?" (John 4:4-52).
Jesus' question is an invitation to us into a new way of life. This week we gather at the well, seeking to not simply quench thirst, but to find living waters that sustain us all.
Seeking: How do we Begin Again?
This week we delve deeper into our Lenten theme, “Seeking: honest questions for deeper faith”. Nicodemus comes to Jesus under the veil of night to ask him big questions. Jesus invites him to begin again, to learn a new way of knowing and living out his faith (John 3:1-17). What questions might Jesus be calling you to live into?
Lent 1 - Seek: honest questions for deeper faith
We begin our Lenten journey with the story of Jesus’ seeking (Matthew 4:1-11).
We ask, “Who will you listen to?”
We will celebrate Communion.
If you are joining us on-line, please bring some bread/cracker and juice/water
for Communion (we continue to use a grape & bread)
You Are Not Alone: Kindness and Encouragement
What if we lived each day on the lookout for ways to make someone’s day through a kind and unexpected gesture? It might just make our day as well!
This week we bring to a close our series, Shining a Light on the 'Blahs' with the spiritual practice of kindness and encouragement.
Soothe the Soul: Sing. Walk. Move.
We continue to explore how our everyday activities can become spiritual practices that ‘shine a light’ and deepen meaning in our lives. Music can have a powerful effect on our mood with its ability to literally ‘move’ us. The Psalmist proclaims that God can give us a new song, bringing us out of a ‘miry bog.’
What song is on your favourite ‘playlist’ that lightens your spirit and soothes your soul? And what activities – walking, dancing, running, stretching – boost your spirit and energy?
How do you answer God's Call to be just? And do we even see the injustice before us?
January 15th
When we find fear moving in, we often try very hard to control the world around us, putting our faith in ourselves.
Maybe there is another way? Imagine
