Giving thanks for a Season with our new friends!
During the Season of Creation we have been enjoying our new friendship with Benedictus joining in at Benedictus Evening Meditation each Friday and sharing fellowship together.
We give thanks for Sarah's visit to our Weekly Worship service on the 15th of September and her sermon: A way of seeing, a way of being as well as the other members of Benedictus who joined in with us in our service.
We have enjoyed the encouragement that being together has offered to us, to continue nurturing the contemplative way of being online.
We have encountered new friends from around Australia and in other countries, and now look forward to continuing to foster this connection.
So what's next?
If you would like to sign up for Benedictus weekly news - visit the Home page - Benedictus Church and scroll to the bottom of the page to subscribe to their mailing list. Many wonderful resources are shared there, like this Podcast which included Susanna: Play as a spiritual practice - ABC listen during this Season.
We are welcome to continue attending Benedictus Evening Meditation each Friday, or any other day of the week. Most important to note is that Benedictus is based in Canberra so daylight savings applies to the time!
We will observe Sabbath Month alongside Benedictus in January and July 2025. Read more about that here: Sabbath Month | Benedictus | Holy Hermits Online
And we will remain open to the Holy Spirit's leading to bring us together in the online space and contemplative way of faith, praying for the Benedictus community at Weekly Worship and regularly on our HHO app Prayer Wall.
A prayer:
Loving God, we give thanks for our siblings at Benedictus Contemplative Church.
Thank you for bringing us together during the Season of Creation in 2024, so that we can share encouragement and inspire one another.
Please bless both our communities with resources to continue inhabiting the online space, so that we make spiritual community accessible and life giving for all we encounter using the vehicle of technology.
We trust your Spirit to lead us as we continue to journey as friends in the digital mission space.
In the name of the Holy Trinity, Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier, we offer this prayer. Amen.
