What we are doing right now...Welcome to Advent! Every year, beginning with the Sunday after Thanksgiving, we embark on a journey for 4 weeks to get ourselves ready for Christmas. We call it Advent because we wait, and wait.... for God to be present among us and around us. To feel and embrace this presence among us, we take three weeks to "get ready" with more spiritual services on Sundays. Come on in on Sundays and feel the Sacred in the air that surrounds us, in the people that are around us, and in the time we are in right now. |

Make some space!
Do you have a space for your cat to lie down, or a space for your favorite house plant? We are inclined to create different spaces in our lives for a variety of things that matter to us. I am, for example, very intentional about having my little “coffee corner” in my kitchen (and in my office, for that matter). Why shouldn’t we also have a dedicated space for our relationship with God. Such a space can be as a short underlayment with a candle. I have a little space both in my office and at home that is dedicated for just God in my life. Whenever I see it or pass by, it reminds me to say a prayer or be still for just one minute. I believe I would forget to stand still and search for God around me and inside me if I didn’t have this space. I am so grateful for it! So - Have a little space set aside with a candle or incense and a photo of the person you love most, and dedicate it to your minute-a-day to reflect and feel the holiness around and inside you! Once you established this little space, say a brief blessing: Blessed are You, O God, who separates between holy and ordinary. May God bless this space and set it apart from the ordinary and daily things that happen around it. Rev. Dom |
