In a recent service we reflected on the story of Jesus in the home of Mary and Martha. We recognised that we all know how to go into Martha-mode - active, busy, getting things done, but that in our distracted world, it is increasingly difficult to go into Mary-mode, where we stop, quieten ourselves and give our full attention to God.
Last weekend, eleven of us had the privilege of being in Mary-mode for a few hours in the first of what we hope will be a regular series of Quiet mornings. If you're interested in being involved in future mornings, or would like to receive notification of other such events in the area, please join the WMC Quiet mornings WhatsApp group on our WhatsApp Community.
God invites invites us to stop our stressing and pathological busyness and "be still and know that I am God" (Ps 46:10). That is an invitation that we really need to take seriously.
