Ice. Cold. The ornaments are put away, the tree is down … and we’re settling in for a chilly weekend. 
“In the bleak midwinter”… the echoing words of the carol seem so true, too true. In this season of ice, we long for our world, our hearts to melt and thaw.
Ice. A season to endure. And yet … are there lessons that ice can teach us? Its beauty can sparkle from every twig and branch! What energy is trapped in its frozen mass, waiting to be released? What rivers of life are running beneath its surface?
In the depth of winter, let us learn from the ice. And let us take comfort in the warmth of the Spirit’s fire as we find it in our midst. Come, join OpenSpirit as we gather for experiential worship, moving music and prayer.
We meet at 5:30 for a potluck Sunday dinner, and then gather for worship from 7 – 8. Come for part or all of the evening, as your schedule permits. OpenSpirit is a spiritual community in the Christian tradition focusing on creative worship, prayer, and the arts. All are welcome!
