Devotion for June 1, 2021, from Pastor Tim of Holy Trinity:
One of the things I missed most during the past 16 months is…
As we continue to venture out from our COVID cocoons we are once again face to face with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. It has felt like an eternity since we were able to have non-Zoom conversations.
A lot has happened in the past 16 months. To help us become “reacquainted” with one another I offer a resource I have used during retreats and small group experiences entitled “unfinished sentences.” (Les Christie)
Some of the unfinished sentences are fun while others are serious. Many are designed to stretch and push us out of our comfort zones. Feel free to change the questions or ask follow-up questions. Try not to finish with a one-word answer. Also, please give the option of passing on a question or choosing another if a person wishes.
Be aware that this could lead to…
