*Note the attached sermon audio is actually 23.25 mins. (not the 45+ indicated on the play bar!) Be not afraid.



It’s easy to feel as if we’re standing two inches away from a huge canvas that’s noisy and crowded and changing with every microsecond. It’s only by stepping farther back and standing still that we can begin to see what that canvas (which is our life) really means, and to take in the larger picture.
– Pico Iyer, The Art of Stillness

**

“Whenever there is stillness there is the still small voice, God's speaking from the whirlwind, nature's old song, and dance...” 
― Annie Dillard, Teaching a Stone to Talk:


Scripture reading: Mark 4:35-41

Seeding Hope

Today for us the work on seed has become the place from where we are responding to the worst tragedies and worst crises of our times.  If we really seriously look at the crises we are facing whether it is climate change or unemployment or it’s the crises of food where you can’t be secure in your food at all, the solution to so much of this comes from people being on the land as conservers of the seed, of the soil, of the water.  –Vandana Shiva


Scripture readings: Ezekial 17: 22-24 & Mark 4:26-34  (The Inclusive Bible)

Growing Grace

“All the natural movements of the soul are controlled by laws analogous to those of physical gravity. Grace is the only exception. Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void. The imagination is continually at work filling up all the fissures through which grace might pass.” ― Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace


Scripture readings: 2 Corinthians 4:13-16 & Mark 3:20-35
