The Quality of Your Approach

In a meeting this week, we started off with this reading from John O’Donohue’s Beauty: The Invisible Embrace:

starting another church year.  How are you feeling about it? What are you expecting? What is the quality of your approach?  For me, I can only truly answer these questions after I give myself some space for a little prayer, a little meditation, and a little reflection.  Then I can get in touch with the true ‘quality of my approach.’   And with a little more prayer and meditation, I might even be able to shift my quality of approach, if that is what I think would be most healthy.

I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday.  I will lead worship with Matthew Mason and Angel Holmes:  Play With Your Food. Do struggle with what you eat? Do you think you should eat differently? Come join Rev. Darcy as she plays with our food.
