These radiant fall colors are one way that God bends down to nourish me.

Our disciple for the week is Mary Magdalene! I’m not preaching, but I did write a call to worship, based on Hosea 11:3-4:

Holy One,
Teach us to walk on your path.
Gather us in your arms.
Heal our bodies and heal our spirits.
Lead us with cords of kindness
and encircle us with bands of love.
During this time of worship,
Lift us toward your Divine face.
Bend down to nourish us for the coming journey.
Amen

And for those of you on lectionary, here’s a call based on Psalm 34.
