Over twenty years ago, I received the call to ministry during a session of Lectio Divina. It was powerful and I look forward to sharing with you the art of Lectio Divina ("Holy Reading") in our Bible Study TONIGHT at 7:00 pm on Zoom. We will use Psalm 22 as our basis for this ancient spiritual practice of praying with scripture.

Garden Stone Commemoration of Frank Forrest
Wednesday, May 13 (rain date Thursday)
3:30 pm
Goodwin Elementary School

Frank Forrest was a key leader in the first garden bucket sale, benefitting East Hartford Schools' Community Gardens and Farm to School programs. In honor of Frank's tireless work to get fresh, healthy food to those in need in East Hartford, the East Hartford Hunger Action Team will be placing a commemorative garden stone at the Goodwin Elementary School Garden (the first school garden in East Hartford!). Rev. Kelly Jane Caesar will lead us in a brief, secular service commemorating his years of service at 3:30 pm, prior to the start of the Garden Bucket Sale. In the event of rain and the bucket sale is postponed, the service will be held on the postponed date.

So, last week inspiration hit and I thought, "oh! Next time we have a snow day, I have some fun ideas for worship!" Well, that snow day came sooner than expected!

Log on this Sunday for a delightful worship service designed especially for zoom with some pictures, music videos and opportunities to see one another. I'm looking forward to sharing, "Learning to Pray on a Snow Day".
