Meditation and Renewal at Space for Grace

[Mandy Iahn]

Hey Friends,

Last week, we did something new at Space for Grace. The theme was
"You Are the Mountain," which I talked about briefly, and then, we did
a guided meditation on being strong and still like a mountain. After
that, we all listened to music that just moved you and watched a slide
show of various mountain pictures taken by our very own Sarah Hawkey.
It was really powerful and centering. The whole experience was pretty
awesome, and many of us left feeling renewed and happy.

So, we are going to do something like that again this week, but with a
different theme. This week I will be talking about how the past
created the present moment and the present moment creates the future.
Then, we will do a meditation about the power of staying awake in the
present moment so that we can build the life we want. We will again
follow it with a slideshow set to music.

As we move forward in Lent, we are going to experiment with different
worship experiences, such as Taize, the labyrinth, having communion at
the altar railing, various forms of prayer and other meditations. My
hope is that we will all experience transformation and healing as we
take our Lenten journeys together.

I hope to see you this Sunday at 6:30 PM! If you have friends who
haven't been to church in awhile or consider themselves "spiritual but
not religious," this might be the kind of alternative worship they
could get into.

Peace and love,
Pastor Mandy
