Advent 2011 – Tear Open the Heavens
REFLECTION
Our whole life is Advent — that is, a time of waiting for the ultimate, for the time when there will be a new heaven and a new earth . . . . Learn to wait, because he has promised to come. . . . We call to him: “Yes, come soon, Lord Jesus!”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, A Testament to Freedom
Jubilee 2011 – How Can We Love?
REFLECTION
Let me bathe in your words.
Let me soak up your silence.
Let me hear your voice.
Let me enter your quiet.
Let me tell out your stories.
Let me enclose them within me.
Let me be the spaces
between the phrases
where you make your home.
Jan L. Richardson, In Wisdom’s Path, p.96
Recommitment 2011 – How Shall we Live?
REFLECTION
I choose to believe in One who says it’s never too late to be on this path . . . because it’s really the only path. Not to constantly relive the past and cast blame on those who have hurt us and didn’t teach us well how to open our hearts, but to live now as beginners, each moment like children just starting out.

A Service in the Style of Taize
14 August 2011
The 9th Sunday After Pentecost
Several times each year, Seekers Church takes time out from its regular preaching schedule for a service of chant, prayer and reflection modeled on the worship of the Taizé Community in France. This Sunday was one such time. Repeating the chants together until they die away into the silence provides rest for our world-weary spirits as well as an opportunity for individual reflection on our faith journeys. As we joined in spirit with the monks at Taizé, we were nourished by their faithfulness as well as by their music.
Summer 2011 – Catching Our Breath
REFLECTION
When I come and bow humbly before you,
I see how your wisdom breathes in everything.
In these sacred seeing moments
I learn and relearn truths that free me.
Joyce Rupp, Prayers to Sophia, pg 78
