Mustard Seed NEWSLETTER OF CHRIST THE KING PARISH DECEMBER 2015

As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them in loving justice with others and return them with increase to the Lord. — Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response

t was a beautiful fall day in Rockville as the hikers ventured

forth into some of ’s most magnificent forests and ponds. The purpose was to encounter God in a different setting and to remember that church is not a building but a community of believers. At stops along the way, excerpts from “When the Rain Speaks: Celebrating God’s Presence in Nature” by Melannie Svoboda, SND were shared for this moving church of people to contemplate, to medi- tate on or maybe to pray about. One such sharing was: “I saw the red flames of the kingly sun glaring through the black trees, not like dawn but like a forest fire. Then the sun became distinguished as a person and he shone silently and with solemn power through the branches, and the whole world was silent and calm.” –– Thomas Merton Although the terrain was fairly flat, there were a few places where sure footing was important. It was fun to watch as the nim- ble and not so nimble hikers navigated the rough terrain with help- ing hands extended to guide and support – so much like the helping hands we see so often within the many ministries at Christ the King, and in the hymn, “The Eyes and Hands of Christ,” by Tom Kendzia.

The hikers were asked to think about the hike as being a mirror of their faith journey. There were times when the going was pretty easy – we were solid in our beliefs. There were times when the going was rough, and we might not have made the journey without the helping hands of others. And, there were times when we lost contact with the trail signs and got lost with only our faith to fall back on. To most, if not all, this was an experience at the heart of beholding – beholding the beauty of God’s glorious earth. We’ll have to go again.
