The season of first days is upon us and here is a blessing for those of you who are beginning again:
May your hearts be as full as your backpacks,
May your day be filled with information that sparks your curiosity but doesn’t overwhelm your senses.
May your friendships rekindle and grow with an openness to new connections.
And when you encounter wisdom, in teachers, caregivers, colleagues and peers let it go all the way in.
And when you encounter conflict, or feel misunderstood allow yourself room to breathe, and remember you’re not all by yourself.
And if, in your own anxiety about fitting in or being seen you step on the feelings of another, apologize.
This is the first day and we all have room to grow.
And finally, if you find yourself with more than enough, share it, and if you need help, ask for it.
First days are good and hard, and at the end we should all make space to rest well.❤️

Join us on August 26th at 6:30pm for God Talk on the Porch! Grounded in curiosity, this monthly gathering is for theological conversation and the ways in which our theology and spirituality inform our values, our day to day lives, ethics, politics and priorities.

We will gather on Rev. Shawna's porch. The address will be sent a few days in advance to our worshipping community. You can email us at [email protected] to request to join that list.
