Insights and experiences which startle us. Questions which our assumptions and habits don't answer. What is the cutting edge of your spirit, the unsettled place where you are growing? In sharing our questions, we support and inspire one another. Invite others to join you in your exploration by creating an "A meditation" pew card. The meditations are created by the people (all ages) of CUCC and rotated in the pews periodically. We hope that you will use them as you wait for worship to begin, during communion, or at home.
GUIDELINES
Generally, the cards follow the pattern: "I saw/read/experienced this, and now I wonder 'What is Spirit telling me?'" For instance, Joan remembered a quotation about call which helped her as she was discerning which of the many competing needs in the world she should address as a new retiree; "How do I decide what I am to do?"
Jane will format the card for you so you don't have to worry about typing or columns. The cards are printed in black ink on white paper. You have space for about six sentences + your meditation question. For visual images, we can glue a 3" x 5" photo or a photocopy of a black and white drawing to the top; or you can draw "on the card" (2.5" x 5.5"). Your name will be on the card as its creator.
