Theme: Presence (and pay attention)
Due date: May 01, 2019
We hear a lot about mindfulness. Presence, paying attention, or focus are similar ways of
saying when you’re with someone, really be with them in body, soul and spirit. This includes
our times of worship or devotion. How do you work at being fully present in worship, or
with your family or friends? How do you experience God’s presence in your life? Our days
are full of distractions, but we want to hear stories of times you have done well at practicing
presence with others, or times you failed and what you learned, or through the experiences
of others.
