Wintry WOW

Dean shares with the WOW gathering

The wintry weather we experienced this morning couldn't deter the faithful from going "WOW" tonight!

John Fisher and Dean Diers once again provided the amazing soup and fresh bread we enjoy each week.  Dean did double-duty this evening, providing the reflection for us this evening.

Dean based his offering on Mark 6:30-44 (the feeding of the 5,000). Discussion followed on the topic of abundance. We also shared a communal prayer before we began the table sharing:

We gather tonight in the darkness of a northern winter, as spiritual darkness holds the world in the icy grip of violence and terror.

We gather tonight in the week before Thanksgiving, knowing full well that others go to bed hungry.

Forgive us when we close our ears, ignoring the cries of a broken world. Forgive us when we harden our hearts, failing to be the people you have called us to be.

We gather tonight in the warmth of fellowship, seeking after the light of your love. Help us to seek ways to share of our abundance, bless us as we seek to bring your light and your love to our world. 

We pray this in Jesus' name.  Amen.
