Are you listening for the Spirit? Are you ready to move from thinking to acting? Do you really want to ‘grow up’ (mature as a Christ-follower)? Your “Yes” to any one of those questions (or all of them) means you’re in the right place.
Every Sunday morning folks, traveling many different paths, meet up “on the trail” at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Palm Desert, CA to ‘Hear what the Spirit is saying’ (to the churches, to God’s people). This blog is one way of continuing and expanding the conversation. It offers the opportunity to hear other voices while sharing helpful (or challenging) resources with each other.
The purpose of the Forum and the purpose of the blog:
- to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church (you and me)
- to move from study to action in response to the Spirit
- to continue “growing up”
“Growing up” — But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love. Ephesians 4:15-16 NRSV
Welcome to the journey.

Hear what the Spirit is saying 
Most every hymn sings to me about Christ and about what he would like from each and every one of us…to love one another, as he has loved us. To fill our hearts with love, understanding, tolerance and forgiveness. To follow in his footsteps. In other words, to be more like you, Fr. Dan!
My favorite hymn is “Amazing Grace”

I appreciate your willingness to bring art and song to connect with God’s Word. Keep it up, it helps me to think about the text in a fresh way.
