We imagine, we envision, we build, we unlearn, and we pray and we act. As you can see pictured here, and further explained below, we invite you to bring aspects of our into your homes, and motifs for prayerful discernment into your daily rituals, such as a Noticing Wall, or what I’ve affectionately begun to refer to as a Nurturing Wall where creativity and prayer blend as a spiritual practice, and a meaning making ritual to bring into your living situation. There are four types of modalities emphasized in this calendar—inquiry, prayer, movement and community.

Inquiry practice—how am I engaged in exploration, experimentation, questioning and investigation in my relationship with God?

Prayer Practice—how am I expanding my comfort, engagement, participation and examples of how to pray, and how to listen to God?

Movement Practice—how is my body, and my attunement to the physical needs of the world connected to my relationship with God?

Community Practice—how can I be connected to God, myself, and my neighbors at the same time, especially when not physically together? How is God calling me to engage with the world more deeply, more widely, and with intention?

2. O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel.
