Join us for a time of prayerful conversation on God’s call to St. Paul’s today. What is God calling St. Paul’s to do and to be at this time, given our mission, current needs, and our local and national contexts?

We will practice ways to deepen our spiritual life through meditation, contemplation on Scripture (lectiodivina), and time for reflection and conversation. We will also set aside time for people to rest quietly, journal, or draw. For those interested, there will be time for qigong exercises. People of all religious affiliations are welcome to participate.

Schedule:

9 am: Teaching

9:15 am: Meditation on Love & Compassion

10 am: Free Time (Journaling, Art Work, Walk, Rest)

10 am: (Optional) Qi gong, Yoga

10:45 am: Contemplative Reflection on Scripture

11:30 am: Group Reflection

12:00 pm: Adjourn

All Outreach and Social Justice Ministry groups are invited to meet collectively on January 12 at 11:30 am in the main sanctuary to reflect on what people have learned from the fall forum series, and to discuss the next step for St. Paul’s outreach and social justice work.

The aim of the meeting is to build on the forum conversations to gain greater clarity for St. Paul’s outreach and social justice ministry as a whole, in light of our shared sense of God’s call and the larger community’s current context and needs.
