Gathering 192: “In-Between” // Service of Worship // ellie hutchison, MiD

Beatitudes Radio

In-between. It's that space of existence between the monsoon clouds and downpour of rain, the territory that lies between wakefulness and sleep, between pandemic and herd immunity, and the space traversing familiar rituals and evolutionary thought. What feels comfortable for you and where do you orient yourself when you're caught "in-between"? Join us this week as our Member in Discernment, ellie Hutchison, shares her reflections on the evolution and role of rituals in our lives. Discover the power of rituals to not only help us feel right and settled in the world, but to focus our attention on Jesus’ directive to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty and welcome the stranger. From the wisdom of our indigenous brothers and sisters to our collective understanding of ourselves, we invite you to re-examine your own heart and find those rituals that will alleviate suffering, extend compassion, and make God’s love real for others.
