This Lent, I am going to try my hand at combining a couple practices - photography and storytelling.
The United Methodist Church has in initiative called "Rethink Church" ('We think church is more than a place to go. We think church can happen anywhere.') During Lent, they provide a word each day on which to focus and reflect. Then those who participate in this practice take a photograph of an image that, for them, reflects the meaning of the word.
Storytelling. I am presently engaged in helping people tell their faith stories, focusing on a particular theme such as "grace" or "forgiveness." I am convinced that the more we share our stories, the more we will see our connections with one another and to God.
What if I combine the two, using the word for the day to find a photograph and then tell a faith story (either witnesses or experienced) based on that word? I am up for the challenge.
