Palm Sunday marks the beginning of what we call Holy Week, and we may find ourselves spending time wondering what it is that we do to set the time apart to make it “holy.”  With the acclaim for Jesus marked on the day, we also look forward with the unique perspective of hindsight to know the quick shift from adoration to betrayal; the quick shift from gaiety to despair.  Life is like that sometimes, and perhaps our yearning for the end of the pandemic has us wrestling with similarly conflicting emotions.  The world is like this sometimes, and so we come together in worship– in praise and thanksgiving, and also to seek solace and hope.  I invite you to bring this wealth of questions and answers, of hopes and concerns to our worship tomorrow, and also on Good Friday and Easter.  Life is like this sometimes. . .

“Write these words on our hearts, we beseech thee, Oh Lord” are the words of a prayer response we sang in the church I attended as a child, and came to mind as I read the texts for this morning.  Jeremiah suggests something that feels fairly radical were it to be a physical inscription; maybe, though, our carrying God’s words in our hearts is an even stronger indelibility.  To what are we firmly, even permanently committed, and what is our response to that commitment?  I look forward to our sharing conversation regarding the difference in our lives God’s good news makes — for us and for others in our path.

In the midst of difficulties, how do we find our way forward?  While the answers to these questions are individual, there is much in our communal walk of faith that stems from the tradition we share.  Perhaps we may discuss together how it is that we grapple with the effect of life’s challenges from a position of faith in God’s love.

Wednesdays @7:00pm via Zoom

This gathering is informal, a centering of the spirit and a quieting of the soul at the end of the day.  It is an opportunity for meditation, contemplation, and sharing.  Bring something meaningful to you if you’d like to share – a reading, a poem, a prayer, a bit of music.
