Present: SC, JK, BL, LL, JM, SR. SS, ST.
Sarah provided dinner; Jane, worship. We answered questions from our pack of cards to cover our responses to the readings.
Sarah's TR started as the story of a birth, but, through the process of reflection, we imagined instead a director watching young performers on a stage. Before we were finished with this image, we were wondering, "Where is God in this picture?" We could see God as the director who presented the players a script and then watched with a mix of pleasure and anxiety to see how they act their roles. But there was also the possibility of the reverse: We are observers, not in control, as God "performs" our world.
Collect for Life's Rich Pageant
O
Creator of all, you have created our stage and the story of our
universe, allowing us the freedom to play our parts as we will; give us
the grace to recover from our miscues, and teach us to trust in your
direction, so that we may partake in your holy performance to the final
curtain call; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with
You and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever. Amen.
Next week, we do lessons for week 34 (on 4/19). Jeff (and Sally) provide dinner; Scharme brings a TR, and Scott does worship. The week after, we'll take the day off (as it's Mystery Dinner Theatre week). Week 35 will be May 3rd.
