Pauses for Advent: Words of Wonder

During the Advent season, we are using Pauses for Advent: Words Of Wonder by Trevor Hudson as a guide.

Each entry in the guide - beginning November 27 - follows the rhythm of Pause-Meditate-Practice.

On this particular Sunday, we took time to try and catch the rhythm as a congregation.

PAUSE

Mark 1:1-3

MEDITATE

Darren's homily

PRACTICE

  • Find a place that is abandoned. Look at it for awhile. Pray.
  • Reach out to a person that is in the wilderness. Write a note. Share a coffee. Make a call.
  • Sit on some grass. Ask some questions and take some notes. What do I want right now? Why do I want that? Who am I? Who am I not?
  • When you are waiting somewhere sometime soon - and you will wait - look around, see people, and pray.
  • Listen to Oprah’s Supersoul conversations podcast with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor: “My Stroke of Insight”

BENEDICTION

Be still and know that I am God.

Be still and know that I am.

Be still and know.

Be still.

Be.
