The beauty of creation has a way of speaking to the heart.

From sunlit bridges to open skies and peaceful grounds, every corner of our grounds offers space to slow down, listen, and simply be.

🌳 Where do you find peace in nature?

In times of uncertainty, where do you find hope?

In this moving reflection, Rev. Joan Crawford invites us to slow down, listen deeply, and remember the strength carried within us through prayer, community, and faith. Through the imagery of rivers, ancestors, and the comforting presence of Christ, she reminds us that even in troubled waters, we are never alone.

"Life is like the river. You are the river, ever flowing."

“Consider the birds…” — Matthew 6:26

In the simple rhythms of creation, we are reminded that God provides, guides, and cares for all living things. May these peaceful visitors encourage us to trust a little more deeply and rest a little more fully in God’s care.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. May we carry their legacy forward with gratitude, compassion, and a commitment to peace.

On this Memorial Day, we hold in prayer all who have sacrificed, and the families who continue to carry their memory. 🇺🇸

Sometimes the most sacred thing we can do is step away from the noise and listen. 🌿

In *Sometimes It’s Good*, Fr. Patrick Bergquist reflects on the grace of retreat, the gift of being truly heard, and the quiet ways God speaks to the soul.

May we all find space to pause, listen deeply, and be renewed. ✨

The author of the post, Mary DeTurris Poust - Writer, will facilitate a "Beautiful and Broken" retreat at the RCC in October (link in the comments).

Happy Pentecost Sunday!

As we celebrate the arrival of the Holy Spirit, can we open ourselves up to the Spirit any way it chooses to show up?

As Easter season leads us toward Pentecost, we pause to reflect on the Seven Last Declarations of Jesus — words of forgiveness, mercy, surrender, and love.

May these sacred words invite us to deepen our faith, extend grace to others, and remember the hope found in Christ’s sacrifice. ✨
