Take your Star Word!

Last week, some asked about Star Words, a practice we began a couple of years ago. While they were not prepared for Epiphany, Star Words are available now and will be in the Narthex before and after worship, as well as in the office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday. If you’re away and would like one, please call the office and one will drawn for you. A reminder about Star Words:

Just as the magi followed a star long ago, we too can be guided by our star word for the coming year.

Keep the star someplace special, somewhere you will see it throughout the coming year. Perhaps on the refrigerator, on the bathroom mirror, taped to the dashboard of the car, at work cubicle, or in the wallet peeking out … someplace seen regularly so it can serve as a guide. These words give you something positive to reflect on, pray about, look for in the world or welcome into your life, or open a conversation with God.

For some, the word’s meaning pops up right away. For others, the meaning may evolve throughout the year. For still others, there may be no immediate significance, but over the months meaning emerges. Let the Holy Spirit work through your word…or don’t…but just maybe, your word will reveal some way the Holy Spirit is at work in your life in unexpected ways.
