This Month

Paying Attention

With the pace of current events and breaking news around the world, in our nation, and even in our communities here in Wyoming, it is difficult to pay attention to what truly matters. There is a lot of information out there, and a lot of it highlights hateful or negative actions. With all of this information coming at us all of the time, one can easily lose focus and feel despondent or powerless. However, turning your focus and paying attention to what is in your own realm of personal control and acting with purpose based on that narrowed scope of information can lead to a more meaningful and faith-filled life. In my day job as an advocate for renewable energy, I know it is easy to get lost in the headlines, so I try to focus on what I call “actionable information” – information that can lead to positive action if the right people, including yourself, intentionally pay attention to it. With this month’s theme of Paying Attention, we’ll be exploring these concepts at our fellowship services throughout March. Come join us to gain focus and understanding of what truly matters and how we can pay attention together to discover the diversity and wonder in our world and to make our selves more enriched and our community a better place.

To Remind Ourselves What Is Real

In a world ravaged by violence, by hatred,
by conflicts that seem eternal and insoluble,
sometimes the only thing we can do
is be still for a moment
to remind ourselves what is real:
the sun that rose this morning,
the dirt under our feet,
the air whispering in and out of our lungs.
This hour, try just to be present in each moment as it unfolds.
Your simple attention is what makes these moments holy.

By Elena Westbrook

Spirit of Life:

Call our collective attention to this precise moment,
the threshold between then and now,
the moment upon which
we hang our honest promises like portraits
chiseled and framed by our own hands,
imperfectly, and together.
Come, let us worship together.
