With the understanding that the RTF has more work to do, and that the data currently does not support regathering safely and inclusively, St. John’s will not regather until at least the fall, and possibly later. We have always taken pride in our message that “all are welcome”, and the restrictions that would accompany a safe regathering plan are, by definition, limiting. Limiting the number of attendees at a service is another way of saying that we will need to turn people away.
My practice is to isolate myself for one hour daily for REST. Usually between 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock. Breathing deeply, I repeat the words
"God in..............Garbage out" until my mind is clear.
Then I can concentrate on some scripture reading and personal prayers.
My earthly father is no longer here to help me navigate when needed but my Heavenly father is still with me. Sometimes now I feel that I am living in fog and cannot see what’s ahead or where I am going. What will life be like in the future? But I put my trust in Him to help me through the fog and keep me off the crashing rocks.
One of my most cherished pieces of liturgy in our faith tradition is in the Eucharistic Prayer's reminder that Jesus "stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world." The enormity, the totality, of that stretch, that sacrificial gift strikes awe in my heart every time I hear it.
