Sacred Words Project
|
Traditional theological language opens a door to a long and deep discussion about what it means to be human. Honoring this, in 2019-20, we developed nine packets based on sacred words that connected with our themes that year. This deepened our monthly worship conversations and helped us retrieve the gift of these sacred words.
These nine sacred word packets can now be used to support worship research in general or to create a monthly theme based on them. Here's the list and links to purchase them: SACRED PATH DESCRIPTION & GUIDING QUESTION WORD Faith The path of hopeful expectation. In what do I trust? Mysticism The path of belonging to something larger than ourselves. Does who I am end at the barrier of my skin? Prayer The path of turning our attention to what matters most What is my life trying to say to me? Reverence The path of traveling through the world with amazement What is sacred? Soul The path of tending to the wisdom and wholeness within What is my path? Grace The path of trusting in a Love that will not let you go. Do I have to make it through on my own? Is it all up to me? Awakening The path of untangling yourself from what you’ve been taught Is this all there is? Surrender The path of saving yourself by giving yourself away. How do I escape my ego and small self? Blessing The path of making visible and calling forth the gifts that get us through Where do I find the courage to step into the new? |
