Keep Calm and Carry On

Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • February 18, 2025

Introspection...

This Sunday, we'll dig into the profound practice of reflection and introspection as a path to living our most fulfilling lives. This journey inward involves employing spiritually driven discernment, a crucial ability to judge wisely and differentiate between truth and falsehood, benefit and harm, wisdom and folly. It's about aligning our intentions with thoughtful action, trusting that when we commit to what is right and true, our efforts will be grounded in something larger than ourselves. In today's world, saturated with information and diverse opinions, cultivating discernment is more vital than ever. It empowers us to make informed decisions, navigate life's inevitable challenges with greater clarity, and foster deeper, more meaningful connections with ourselves and those around us. Join us this Sunday as we explore this inner landscape and discover how to "keep calm and carry on" with a renewed sense of purpose and peace, knowing that our well-considered actions will find their proper course.
