As we prepare for Bishop Rob Wright's time with us on Sunday, August 4, I invite you to explore this sermon by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. We will have a chance to reflect on it together in the Sunday Forum.
Copy and past this address into your search to explore the sermon "Why Jesus Called a Man a Fool."

And, join the conversation on Sunday morning, August 4 at 9:30 pm in the Parish Hall.

Sunday Forum: Exploring Compassion
Join the conversation on Sunday as we continue to explore compassion.
We have asked such questions as "Who am I?" And these questions, we have discovered, can only be 'answered' through the lens of our connectedness in God and with one another.
We come to understand our interconnectedness only through the practice of compassion...
And, compassion is a practice to be explored!
So, join us as we continue to share our thoughts on compassion, on our identity in God and with God...and with one another...

C. S. Lewis recording for Sunday Forum
For our ongoing conversation in the Sunday Forum, looking and listening to ways of sharing our faith perspectives, click HERE to explore a wonderful recording of C. S. Lewis.
As you listen, pay close attention to the language he uses, the images he draws from...his perspective of faith.
Then, let's keep the conversation going!
Blessings,

Explore our recent Lenten Retreat online now!
If you were unable to attend the recent Lenten Retreat at the parish, fear not! We are including these photos on the spiritual formation blog, so you can go online and explore the discernment of the 31 people who gathered that day at St. Benedict's. Simply scroll down and spend time with each of the photos...
With the yellow, our guiding question centered on the stories in our lives: "Why you love what you love, why you do what you do..." How can we look at our own individual lives and notice?
With the blue, we moved into a group discernment focusing on collected images and words from throughout the day. What images or words or thoughts stood out to you from our conversations? We gathered these words into a "word cloud" that helped us imagine future areas of growth and exploration within the parish community...
With the images, we moved into a time of visual representation of one word or image that seemed to summarize or epitomize the entire day's experience. These images are powerful and symbolic!
So, I invite you to explore online...and share in future conversations at the parish as we continue to discern how God is guiding us as a parish community...
Blessings,
Stuart+
