“The heavens are telling the glory of God;

    and the firmament[a] proclaims his handiwork.

Day to day pours forth speech,

    and night to night declares knowledge.

There is no speech, nor are there words;

    their voice is not heard;

yet their voice goes out through all the earth,

    and their words to the end of the world.”

—Psalm 19:1-4

Today begins our fast from media. We invite you to reflect on this scripture as a way of framing the next two weeks.

By fasting from various forms of media (i.e. Instagram, Facebook, TV, etc.), we are more free to hear and experience God in the world around us.

We will be changing the format of our reflections to create space for a practice of silence and appreciation of the beauty that is all around us.

What form of media do you sense God inviting you to rest from this season?
