Creativity and possibility in small congregations. On the Slow Side. July 30, 2014. If we are to retreat in daily life, we also need to slow down. I had an opportunity to slow down today. A walk turned into a moment of reflection by the creek. I noticed elements of nature that I miss when I’m riding my bike here or when I’m just too busy to even stop by. Within this creek, the central feature of our region and the subject of a Hall and Oates song. On the slow side I notice. Newer post →. July 30, 2014.

Creativity and possibility in small congregations. On Joy July 2014. July 11, 2014. Back to the joy theme. Do we have enough of it in our current Anabaptist/Mennonite spirituality? Today I read a fascinating account of a Catholic person using the ANABAPTIST PRAYERBOOK, TAKE OUR MOMENTS AND OUR DAYS, as an experiment in a class at a Catholic school. This prayerbook was produced recently by several faculty and staff at the Mennonite seminary in Elkhart, Indiana. His account is at the link below:. So he say...

Creativity and possibility in small congregations. Newer posts →. Prayer for Lent 2, Year A. March 15, 2014. Keeper of your people,. You neither slumber nor sleep,. But hold us always. In your sheltering gaze. We come to you in secret, by night,. With fear and questions. Your waking hours stretch. Through our centuries in one endless day,. Yet you keep your vigil in peace. Breathe into our anxious sleeplessness. You call our names. As you called our brother Abram. To places we do not know. March 4, 2014.
