Today our service is led by Rev Michael Barnes.
“To be alive is to be vulnerable”
Madeleine L’Engle, American novelist
Reflect
How can the church better encourage and support people, both within and outside its doors, to enter experiences that are paradoxical and confusing?
(Allied to this question: how might we restrain the desire to make everything logical and readily accessible?)
Pray
For the family of Alan Spilsted, who died last week, following a long struggle with dementia
For all those explorers who plumb the depths of life; may their curiosity be rewarded and their courage strengthened
For the many countries around the world where the Covid-19 pandemic is not yet under control; and those countries who can’t access sufficient supplies of the vaccine
Act
Explore further a topic that you find mysterious and confusing; try not to sort it out and allow yourself to plunge deeper into its mystery.
Ask a friend what they find mysterious.
