Every year at Fauntleroy Church, those who attend our Epiphany Sunday worship service receive a "star word" for the coming year. The words are randomly selected and meant to simply be a starting place in inviting us to reflect from day to day. Sometimes, we receive words we love; sometimes, we groan at them. Star words can be assuring, challenging or perplexing, but they always invite us into wonder.
There is nothing magical about a star word, but those who hold their star word with a measure of invitation to the Divine often find that their star guides them...somewhere. In some ways a simple word can guide us just like a natal star guided the three wise ones in Jesus' birth narrative. In listening and seeking, one often finds the manifestation of God in the world and in our lives.
If you weren't able to join us for our Epiphany Star Word service on Sunday, January 10, you can use this link to receive a random star word for 2021. Happy seeking!
