January 19 – 5 pm Gathering, 5:30 pm Seeds of Grace Worship in Sue Dickerman Hall
In January, we celebrate “star words,” a prayer practice connected to Epiphany and the new year.
Each of us will chose a guiding word or intention to focus their prayer and reflection for the new year. Join us for Seeds of Grace worship as we continue this tradition. How is God moving through, around or in connection to your star word in your life and in the world around you? If you picked a star word last year, how has it unfolded in your life? Come to find community around the circle, share refreshments, pray and reflect surrounded by music and the comforting company of
fellow travelers at Edwards Church.
Each Seeds of Grace service is focused on a timely theme, inviting participants into conversation in a comfortable setting. Come for informal reflection, discussion and contemplation inspired by music of all kinds, ancient and contemporary readings, and personal sharing or just listening. In the midst of a chaotic world, a glimmer of joy and light can be found in our circle as we gather over light refreshments with fellow travelers at Edwards Church. Please feel free to invite others to join us; we hope to see you there!
