"The Sound of Your Soul"

Matthew 5 (The Message)

We have spent the whole month in Matthew 5, the Sermon on the Mount. We have heard about those who are blessed, about being salt and light for the earth, about teaching AND obeying the commandments, about finding those we need to forgive and offering them forgiveness, about loving even, and especially, those who persecute us.  Heavy stuff. Strong words and important commandments. Love always, in all circumstances. Be generous. Be gracious. Always. Mission impossible, right?

This week we are fortunate to have our healing bowls friend Myrna Castaline joining us. She was here a couple of years ago and we have had many requests for her return. This is the perfect way to end our series on the Spirituality of Sound. We have heard the sounds of everyday life, the sounds of secular pop/rock tunes, the sounds of Djembe drummers, and now we slow our heart rates down with the Tibetan healing bowls.

Our service will be in the style of Taize. We will read again each of the scriptures we have heard from Matthew 5 in February. We will hear other readings. And Taize songs. And the sounds of the bowls.

What makes you find your quiet center? Do you even have one? How can you commit to making your life less crazy and more holy?  How can you decide that the most important place you can be on any given day is with God in quiet reflection?
