The United Methodist Church of Saint Helena
extends an open invitation to join us for
40 DAYS: REFLECT ALLOW RENEW
29 September - 7 November
Reflect... on your choic
Allow... the s/Spirit
Renew... your connection
We are at a crossover moment in history where big questions
all demand new answers. Joan Chittester
40 Days has significant meaning in multiple cultures and faiths.
The 13th Century poet Rumi likens a 40 day period to the germination of a seed, a time of new growth.
We invite you to join us in this 40 days to experience a meaningful personal journey and
a weekly experience of community and connectedness.
Our aim is 40 people for 40 days...leading us where our minds and spirits long to go for
Deeper awareness
Quickened creativity
Focused energy
Renewed passion for values that matter
Experiencing LIFE as sacred trust
Each of us will be using a book--40 Day Journey-- by Joan Chittester as a daily guide,
taking us through a personal short reflection, meditation, and prayer with additional
options for deepening our thoughts.
We will come together on Wednesday evenings as a community from 6 to 7 PM to respond to this journey.
To live is to venture beyond ourselves to taste the sweetness of the unknown.
--Joan Chittester
