Stroll (or Roll) for Your Soul offers 21 days of accompaniment through a brief email
delivered early each morning to your inbox. Each email will offer a practice,
or a reflection, or a poem, or a photograph giving direction and encouragement
to your time spent walking or jogging or biking or even skateboarding.
It takes 21 days to create a
habit. Use these daily emails as motivation to get outside. If you are a
regular walker, they offer practice at paying attention and being in the
present moment. Give yourself 21 days and make it a habit.
Beyond motivation, these emails
help connect us with the Universe Story. We find hope and courage in
this old, old 13.7 billion year story.
WHEN: Begins with a welcome email on April 27.
HOW: Contact the church office to sign up to receive the
emails. We can sign up as many people as we want! Let’s get strolling.
Copies of the “UPPER ROOM” for May-June are available.
