Are you feeling stressed, burned out or a pull to step out of your current vocation?

We’re in the process of forming community groups. We would love to walk alongside a group of people that are discerning a transition out of professional ministry. This can be a hard road to walk alone and you don’t have to.

Tulsa is a city with rich opportunities, but unfortunately not all of its citizens have been granted equal access to these options.

Since 2018 the city has issued an Equality Indicator Report each year to help the city assess our progress and highlight ways we can continue to improve.

Each month we are choosing one sector to pray for. Please join us in praying for our city, and or the place you call home by repenting of past failing, celebrating growth and asking the Holy Spirit any steps he is calling you to make.

This month we are praying for justice.

🙏 Lord forgive us for the times we have only looked at a situation through our own perspective. Help us to see the world through the eyes of others too and seek the truth.

🙏Ask God to meet the needs of those that have been wrongly accused and imprisoned. Lord bring their cases to the light and may your justice prevail.

🙏Pray for children who have a parent incarcerated. Lord fill their lives with other caring adults to help mentor and guide them. Help them find forgiveness and compassion for their parent as well.

🙏Pray for those working in the justice system. Lord fill them with your wisdom, compassion and strength.

Almighty God, from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed: Kindle, we pray, in the hearts of all people the true love of peace, and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth; that in tranquility your kingdom may go forward, till the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Place is a special thing. God has called you to a specific place to serve and love those around you. What do you know about the place where you live??

The Abbey of the Heights is located in North Tulsa, a beautiful historic neighborhood whose history holds great beauty as well as great tragedy. If you’re a history buff and want to learn more check out the link in our stories

We are also situated on the edge of Cherokee and Creek tribal lands. Both parts of this heritage have shaped the community we find ourselves in and we honor and value the stories played out in this place.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. What do you know about the community that first inhabited your place?

In August we explored what is a Rule of Life and how can it help us walk more closely with Jesus.

Now we’re breaking down each step week by week. If you want the full series text sent to your inbox let me know!

Step 6: Share it with someone
Talk it out with your spiritual director, your spouse, your trusted peers. Listen to their feedback. Are you being realistic? Are you being gracious to yourself? Where are you challenging yourself? Are there blind spots you’re missing? Is this a religious self-help wish list or is it truly a plan for being drawn deeper into the heart of Jesus? Ask for help. Welcome accountability.

One of our core values is sustainable rhythms.

Just As Our Bodies Are Sustained By The Ever-Quiet Rhythms Of The Beating Of Our Hearts And The Air In Our Lungs, Our Souls Are Shaped For The Long Term By Simple Experiences Much More Than Big Events. The Simple Daily Rhythm Of Prayer, Of Meals, Of The Weekly Meeting For Scripture And Eucharist—These Form Us To Be Like Jesus. These Are Enough.

“And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you I will not eat ituntil it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭14‬-‭20‬

Jesus invites each of us into his family and welcomes us to partake in remembrance of his great love for us. Many churches around the world are taking communion today as a reminder that this love is not just for our congregation but for all who would receive Christ’s sacrifice.

If church is a hard place for you to be, know there is still a seat at the table for you. The Eucharist is offered at 4:00 each Sunday at the Abbey and all are welcome.
