Wed. Jan. 12: Lectio Divina Practice: 6-6:30 pm

Hello, come give yourself some centering time, in a small drop in circle, that will meditate on the upcoming Sunday scripture, with a few minutes of silence, and sparse reflection. Practice is a couple Wednesday evenings per month.

Our text for Jan. 16 is John 2:1-11. Here is a prompt below from poet pastor Steve Garnaas-Holmes.

See you in the zoom space. Call or email the church for the link, or get it right here: fill in your email contact.

             Now standing there were six stone water jars 
           for the Jewish rites of purification,
           each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

                           —John 2.6


Beloved,
you change the water of my life
into the wine of your touch,
if only I taste.
What was plain becomes mystery. 
The cup of want
becomes jugs of abundance,
a lifetime.  
The jars of obligation, 
the pots of my attempts, 
my hope of being acceptable,
my rite of shame and inadequacy,
you fill with delight instead.

Beloved, I see now—
this wedding must be mine.



Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
