Renewal

The SOUL MATTERS theme for the month of September has been RENEWAL.

Reverend Adam suggested that we consider renewing our commitment to Our Covenant 

In covenant with one another and all we hold sacred
We answer the call of love – 
Welcoming all people into the celebration of life,
Searching for truth and meaning, 
And striving for justice and compassion – 
To nourish and serve each other, our community and our world.
Adopted November 9, 2003

Two weeks ago, The Prayer Chest shared Loving-Kindness Practice and we can renew our Covenant by reflecting on phrases and using them in the prayer.

For example –

May I answer the call of love
May I welcome all people
May I celebrate life
May I search for truth and meaning
May I strive for justice and compassion
May I nourish and serve others
May I nourish and serve my community
Or however you want to phrase it

Breathe and contemplate how this feels in your body, and what thoughts and feelings this activates. Practice daily to renew and deepen your connection to our covenant.
