Salt & Light Week of March 5-11, 2023

Sacred Circles, Sacred Spirals

This Lent, Salt and Light will return to our community organizing roots by reconnecting with one another through the sacred practice of “one-to-ones”. In these 40 days of Lent, all Salt and Light members are invited to hold four one-to-one conversations with each other, asking and responding to crucial questions about belonging, grief and community. We will take time in Sunday services to connect with each other and reflect on the fabric that keeps us together.

Update from Jane Keating

THIS SUNDAY

We'll go on a walk in Alberta park to collect "building" materials we can find for our upcoming creations.
Dress for the weather!

LAST SUNDAY

During Wondering Time we practiced 1:1 listening and sharing for the second time!

We reflected on this question,
"What is special about being together here? What do you like?"

Together we created a spiral of with some of the ways we are pleased with how we participate at Salt & Light and Leaven.

Thanks to our CAC youth for weaving the reflections from the adult 1:1's. 

More to follow!
