Sunday, the 31st, is the fifth Sunday of the month, which means for us it’s a Rest Sunday. While there will be no worship service, Rest Sunday does offer us an invitation. We believe that a rhythm of rest is a spiritual practice. So on fifth Sundays, we’re offered an opportunity to step back from our usual rhythm and we’re encouraged to connect with God through the world God has made.
Creation has a way of saying things about the Creator that our words sometimes can’t. So whether your Rest Sunday looks like going for a walk around a lake, or just sitting out on your porch with something refreshing to drink and something good to read, or tending your garden, or just finding a patch of sky to stare at for a while, our hope is you’ll accept the invitation to rest.
Pastor Osheta and I will be holding you all in the light and we’ll all meet back together on June 14th, when we kick off our Summer at Phalen Park. Until then, rest well, maybe even wander around a little, and let yourself be held by the divine.
