how is God still speaking to us at Tabernacle United Church? |
|
God is still
speaking to us through nature; through the majesty and beauty
of the mountains, through the feel of the wind on our faces,
the sound of a babbling brook or stream, the rush of a waterfall,
the brilliant colors of autumn and the sparkling sight of fresh
fallen snow... God is still speaking. |

|
We hear God at Tab because we are interested in what God is saying to us. God is still speaking, and we are still listening.
Kip Leitner |
|
| You can hear Her in the buzz at coffee hour. We renew old friendships, make new ones, plot new projects, hear about upcoming events and celebrate the bounty of the earth. Katie Day |

| through hugs and smiles and tears and joy and sadness and hurt and anger and grief through the everyday efforts and passions and kindnesses and yearnings and learnings of all everyday people God is still speaking through every living piece of God's creation. there is wisdom within every person animal plant and tree. even rocks and decaying things abound with histories. with all the loudness and rushing of our culture we think God is silent. but i think there is a constant ever present whisper that emanates from all things around us and we must slow down and consciously cultivate stillness in order to hear it and engage with God in dialogue. it is not that there is no voice, i think, we have simply begun to lose the ability to listen. through our own words. we tend to listen for wisdom outside of ourselves. but listen to your own words. i think we can find god within the words we are already saying.

At Tabernacle I feel we are bound by love and justice rather than dogma.

| in the call of the prayer bowl, as its round tones fill the air and surround us, in the rhythm of the chants we sing together, in the hug from a friend, and the warm smile from a stranger, in the outreached hand, when help is most needed, in the acceptance of help, whenever we offer it, in our laughter as we watch an advent play, in our hands as we create tiles, and carry signs, and make puppets talk, in scripture, in poetry, in sorrow, in the loud wind that knocks down power lines, in the silence, God is still speaking.

God is still speaking to all of us;
all faiths, all races, all nationalities; and we are thankful for God's continued presence and voice. Mario Howell |
