Rev. Ryan's Weekly Reflection

We had a creative and lively time of learning when we learned (or re-learned) the spiritual practice of "Visio Divina" this past Sunday (March 22).

Thanks to all who participated and thanks to Lara for bringing "real, living" clay for us and reminding us that clay is made up of all the elements of the universe (and we hold it right in the palm of our hand!). Wow!  Download via the button below, the handout that we used plus the picture named "Jesus in Gethsemane" by He Qi. Remember, this is a practice that you can do with any piece of art that draws you in. . . you can use an art piece/picture as a way to see, hear and sense from God. . . and then allow yourself to be encouraged and then sent forth into the world to be a blessing.

Here's a couple of pictures of the creativity that was emerging in our midst. Thanks be to God, for the Spirit of creativity that abides in us, for we are God's beloved "created ones."
