« National Day of Mourning | Blog Home | Sacred Space Remembrance reprise »
Our community Sacred Space tonight will focus on the power of water. Given that today has been declared a day of national mourning for the victims of the Boxing Day tsunami, we will reflect upon water's life-giving and life-destroying power.
Having constructed a small pool in the centre of our worship space, we will float candles in memory and place rocks in the water, watching the ripples of disturbance flowing out. A range of texts from the Bible will be available and read as we pray, raise our laments and questions, and reflect on the characteristics of water: something we need to live, yet which has the power to overwhelm and destroy.
The place of water in the story of Israel - deliverance from Egypt, Jonah, Noah, and others, will be recognised. We will then reflect on our own life-giving and life-destroying capacity.
