Experience, Explore, Reflect...

We have now come to the end of our three week course but the journey continues with time to ponder on our responses.

"I pray that God will speak loudly
And that you will hear humbly.

I pray that God will act mightily
And that you will receive graciously.

I pray that God will bless amazingly
And that you will share freely.

I pray that God will be close
And that you will walk safely."1.

May our response ponderings be soaked in this prayer.

A Call to Pray

During the "Where's God on Monday?" series prayer has been a dominant factor and two of the most powerful "scripted" prayers are reproduced here:

"May my conversations be significant,
May my meetings be blessed,
May my path cross the paths of others who love you,
May my path cross the paths of others who don't know you,
May my touch be your touch of infinite gentleness,
May my words be your words of wisdom."i.

And,

" Help me to live each moment
reaching for the fulfillment of my potential,

Help me to worship you,
My Father,
My Saviour
My God.

Help me to serve the stranger and friend
in obedience and compassion.

I can do nothing without You
but with You I can do anything."i.

Where's God on Monday?

We are currently midway through our three week "Where's God on Monday?" course aimed at centering our work as an essential part of God's bigger picture through stories, music, the Bible, prayer and reflection. Have a look at the Pastor's paragraph here.

Welcome

At Opawa part of our vision is:

"Enabling people to walk and grow with Jesus and reflecting his love into our communities and beyond"

We spend a huge amount of time in work throughout our daily lives from school to third age and everything in between - we all have to work to exist.

How do we view our work?

Does it have to be paid to be classified as work?

Where does our faith fit into our work or does our work fit into our faith?

Work is part of our very existence and this exploration of faith and work is born out of our journeying together at Opawa.
