You are destined to fly, but that cocoon has to go.~ Nelle Morton
This past Sunday during our Easter service, some shared how they are "practicing resurrection", how they are living their lives in ways that are transformative - for themselves and perhaps even for our world. We will continue this theme this Sunday as we gather to further share the good news of resurrection. You are invited to bring writings, art work, film clips, scripture, music, share a story, whatever, that gives voice to your understanding and experience of "resurrection." Neil will facilitate the conversation.
Some of the things shared last week include the phrases:
- I try and see the resurrected Christ-presence in whoever is walking beside me.
- Resurrection is grand and challenging. She was on her way back to her wings.
- Resurrection doesn't always roar; sometimes resurrection is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.
-I'm learning I have the opportunity to resurrect myself each new day when I try to do better than the day before.
Our offering will be designated for an organization which literally "resurrects" people by providing drinking water in the desert - Humane Borders. Humane Borders, motivated by faith, offers humanitarian assistance to those in need through the deployment of emergency water stations on routes known to be used by migrants coming north through the Sonoran desert. Its sole mission is to take death out of the immigration equation.
For our community potluck meal, you are invited to bring "spring" foods.
