We have a month between the end of Christmas and the beginning of Lent, and sometimes this time of year gets lost between recovering from one holiday and getting ready for the next. It might even seem like God takes a break and we don’t hear from the Divine during this downtime. However, our Creator doesn’t take a break and is still speaking to us. So, for the next few weeks together, our theme is listening. Listening and action feed each other as grace forms us into the people of God. We’ll be looking for ways to create space for listening that connects with the call to act justly and kindly.
