 "What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? " This line, from Mary Oliver's poem "The Summer Day," encourages us all to think about the world in which we live and how we are called to live in it. In the season of Lent, join Rachel on Thursdays at noon to reflect on Mary Oliver and the Poetry of Lent. Beginning February 22nd, come each week and take time to be led by scripture and share in the Lenten disciplines of paying attention, devotion, and prayer. We will meet in the Sunroom of the Fellowship House; please feel free to bring your lunch. All are welcome! |
