Peace, Be Still

6/24/2018

We’ve lost our Sundays, our weekends, our nights off — our holy days, as some would have it; our bosses, junk mailers, our parents can find us wherever we are, at any time of day or night. More and more of us feel like emergency-room physicians, permanently on call, required to heal ourselves but unable to find the prescription for all the clutter on our desk.

Going nowhere … isn’t about turning your back on the world; it’s about stepping away now and then so that you can see the world more clearly and love it more deeply.
--Pico Iyer – the Art of Stillness

Readings: Mark 4: 35 – 41 Blessing in the Chaos – by Jan Richardson

And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own,
And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own;
And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women my sisters and lovers;
And that a kelson of the creation is love;
-- Excerpt from Walt Whitman, Song of Myself

Guest Worship Leader: Rev. Karen MacDonald

According to the biblical Jewish and Christian traditions, God created the world for his glory, out of love; and the crown of that creation is not the human being; it is the sabbath....[The human being] stands together with all the other earthly and heavenly beings in the same hymn of praise of God's glory, and in the enjoyment of God's sabbath pleasure over creation....Even without human beings, the heavens declare the glory of God." --Jurgen Moltmann, God in Creation: A New Theology of Creation and the Spirit of God (1993)

Readings: Deuteronomy 5: 12-15 Mark 2:23-3:6
