A prayer from Noel Davis for today. May we make space to be with our Friend who wishes to gift us with peace and love.
In Peace,
Christine

As the Spirituality Group for Women gathers to explore the life and wisdom of Julian of Norwich this afternoon, I thought this might be fitting for today – a reminder to seek the peace and love that is always at work:

In Sunday’s Gospel reading, we will hear Jesus say, “Peace be with you,” once again. We will explore what it means for us to be witnesses of this peace, especially in a world that is often fractured and divided. Worship will include communion, a celebration of our oneness in Christ. I look forward to sharing this time with you.
Along with your usual offering, you might wish to bring a gift of non-perishables for the food pantry. As we are fed at Christ’s table, may we share food with those who are hungry body and soul.
Here’s a quote from Joan Chittister to get the conversation going. The photo was sent to me from Avril who is currently camping near Menindee Lake. Looks beautiful!
Peace,
Christine
