• A Year of Discernment began last weekend at our Annual meeting. Discernment is the act of figuring out what God might be inviting us to be and to do by getting out of the way in a sense. In order to actually "hear" God's voice in our lives we need to find ways to become quiet enough to listen to that "still, small voice." This kind of listening and hearing has little to do with thinking. Actually our thoughts can prevent us from connecting with God. Meditation, the Jesus Prayer, sitting quietly on the porch in the morning or the evening and listening to the birds singing for a few minutes; any of these things can help us to slow down and to allow the inner noise to become still so that God will have a chance to get through to us .
• "Where love is found, there is God. Where love is not found, do what you can to put it there." (paraphrase of Leo Tolstoy)

• A Year of Discernment begins today. Who are we? What does God want us to do? How can we be faithful to God's call? Throughout the next year we, as a community, will learn and practice some prayerful skills that will help us to answer those questions as individuals and as a parish. We know our goals and objectives, now let's find out what God wants from us and for us. It begins by learning to listen more deeply!
