Circle of Friends, Picton

Easter Sunday, 10:30 @ The Andrew Picton.
Every year at Easter my task is to look deeply into the archetype of resurrection to discern how we might embrace it as "a way of seeing/a daily practice" rather than a doctrinal/historical truth. I will share words from the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, Maya Angelou and also insights from Neil Douglas Klotz.
I will share snippets from the novel, The Fault In Our Stars, that tells the story of two teenagers who live with cancer and gather weekly with a support group in a church basement where they laugh a little, cry a little, tell the truth and are fully present to one another.
I will also share a variety of images of resurrection from different traditions. This one from the Eastern Orthodox tradition (the ancient vision is cosmic and includes all of us)

How can we with grace and hope address the current trend of adult children going 'no contact' with their family. It is heartbreaking all around and points to the need for all of us to create 'circles of kinship' when our family system is not as healthy as we had hoped it would be. The 'message' begins at 11:30.

The season of Epiphany is launched with the story of the Magi following a star. It is a season in which we seek wisdom for our own journeys. This week, the Circle of Friends (formerly, St. Andrew's in Picton) will be 'choosing a word', an ancient sacred practice rooted in the Desert Mothers and Fathers. Traditionally, the word, received in prayer, would serve to encourage, guide, challenge, inspire.
What word is showing up for you to guide your journey for the year ahead!
