Day #1370

October 1, 2017 

The weather held for the CROP Walk very nicely. Here’s a picture of some of the “crowd” who came out to walk to help end hunger (notice the beautiful blue sky?!). 


The walk, however, was only part of the day. A last-minute inspiration for the Children’s Message meant creating “footprints” as a reminder of Jesus’ pathway to us and his always being with us; lively and deep discussion around the table came during the first conversation about Lutheran-Catholic Dialogues (this conversation is in preparation for the 500th anniversary of the Reformation at the end of October); and this by Pastor Sandy Van Zyl taken from the daily devotion “God Pause” for World Communion Sunday (our congregation doesn’t talk much about this day, maybe because we celebrate the Lord’s Supper every week): “German mystic Meister Ekhart put it this way, "Our bodily food is changed into us, but our spiritual food changes us into it.””

Lots to be thankful for and lots to think deeply about.

Blessings.
