Forest Church gathering October 2024
And the winds are his messengers! But what message do they carry?
We gathered in the grounds intending to arrange the fallen leaves. The wind was already doing this, and the swirled in gusts.
We read psalm 104 to each other pausing to sense what words resonated with us, walking allow them to sink in and to feel the message in the wind.
We gave thanks for healing, and that we lived in a place where we enjoy the freedom to gather as Church in public. The trees trembled in the wind as we read about lions roaring. We observed that the psalms writes
…When you open your hand they are satisfied with good things. When you hide your face, they are terrified…
The wind brings change. When it gusts the change can be sudden and terrifying. But if you are able to sense God perhaps you can find peace in the wildest storm.
We found refreshment together at the central cafe. Gathering leaves, freshly delivered! on the way. While we continued to discuss or experiences we learned about the creator through creating. The pictures of which decorate this post.
The next forest church gathering will be in November and we are trying to work out something special. More info to follow!
One reply on “Wind and leaves”
Pity I missed this one. 104 is quite a psalm, especially on a windy day. I attended two different churches with Wytzia and in both, they only sing from Psalms. At least I could look them up online during the service and follow them.
