Watch and Engage

Mother’s Day is a warm and wonderful day for some and brings up grief and trauma for others. With tenderness, we will crack open the idea of mothering, share the history of Mother’s Day, and reflect on the cultural perspective on the role of mothers.

Not far from the beginning of the world at Bdote and the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota, I found my first clear view of the river and its banks.

With the emergence of leaves on previously barren trees and the new blanket of groundcover full of tiny white and purple flowers, I could no longer see the river from the path, I had to find the bridge. From the bridge I could see the water flowing toward and away from me, swirling and changing itself and its surroundings as it moved.

As we explore our May worship theme of legacy, letting go, and bridging in our individual and collective lives, we start by stopping to take in the view, noticing what is moving in and what is moving out, and choosing then what to carry and what to create, and what to let go.

Change is a good thing. Let go of the old and let in the new. It is not always easy or pretty or perfect, but it is necessary. Remember: you don’t have to do it alone. Join us for our annual Youth Sunday worship service led by our High School Youth Group.

“The story of the Bakunawa began many moons ago. Bakunawa–bent snake–moon-eater–the cause of natural phenomenon. . .” The telling and retelling of this Filipino myth offers wisdom about collective power, grief, and listening to one another. Come along to imagine a world of seven moons, powerful gods, and collective liberation for all.
