Wild Church
Here are words to embrace all winterlong, with thanks to Rev. Beth Jones of the
Susquehanna Conference who leads Deep Green Journey in the Loyalsock area of
Pennsylvania. Use these words to  focus your contemplation:
The invitation remains, to press
our ears against the bark or the soil, 
to slow our breath, our heartbeat.
There is deep work here.
Roots releasing, collecting,
nurturing quiet beings and 
pathways of green.  
Water expanding and contracting, 
breathing with the earth, creating space. 
Bidding here in the hidden 
stillness
to sense more than to see
the deeper, softer gift rising within. 
To sink into the dark earth within 
and tend the forgotten places,
creating space for redemption, repair and renewal 
in the quiet nursing of life. 

Looking ahead:
We’ll not gather in Feb but mark your calendars for the months to come!
March 16, to be led by Linda Spotts, and back in daylight time at 5pm.
April 13, Palm Sunday, to continue walking as followers of Jesus.
May 18 - explore what's waking up all around us in the Meadow.
