Summer is
upon us and with it comes a change of pace. For some folks summer is a time to
shift into a slower gear. For others it doesn’t really slow down but it does
provide different opportunities. Around the church we take a break from some
things, such as less meetings, for example. But one thing that doesn’t change
is the importance of staying connected – with God and with each other. Whatever
shape your summer takes, whether it is picnics by the lake, time in the garden,
or travel with family and friends, remember to be on the lookout for encounters
with the Sacred. Savor the gift of slowing down so you might recognize the
surprising ways God is seeking to get your attention. Join us for worship when
you’re in town, and let us know what you’re up to when you’re not in town so we
can hold you in prayer. Make it a spiritual practice to expand your awareness
of the many ways in which God accompanies you as you travel through your days.
May your summer be filled with holy encounters, and may you notice.
