The Road Isn’t Straight

Life’s road was never meant to be a straight line from one point to the next. At best, that concept is aspirational; at worst it can induce shame and despair. I believe God is with us in every twist and turn; life is complicated and nuanced. There are many faithful paths; the Magi teach us that a faithful path can be one that resists deceptive and oppressive powers, one that follows God’s light wherever it shines.

In worship, we will celebrate Holy Communion and also invite those present to pick up a Star Word, a guiding word that you are invited to contemplate regularly throughout the year, for reflection on how God has moved through, around, or in connection to that word.
