• How have you been wounded by white supremacism?

• What personal story about race would write on your “leaf” to heal the nations?

• What has been revealed to you as you’ve listened to this series of sermons on the Book of Revelation?

Jacqui Lewis, preacher

John’s Revelation is often interpreted through the lens of judgement; I’ve been reading it with hope.

• Can you hear the hope-filled promise of a healed creation? A new heaven, new earth? Where does your imagination take you in terms of ecology—the care of our earthly home?

• There are echoes here of the Genesis and the creation stories—that the human ones were banished from Eden but will now see God’s face. Victor Hugo wrote, “To love another person is to see the face of God.” Can this heal us?

• The Tree of Life now has 12 kinds of fruits and leaves for the healing of the nations. All the nations. What does this indicate about God’s full intention for the world?

Jacqui Lewis, preacher

• In these times of trauma, what needs to be healed in you?

• How can you participate in the healing of the nations?

• How would you describe Middle’s calling to make things new?

Chad Tanaka Pack, preacher

• How does your self-centeredness get in the way of seeing yourself as closely connected to the world? What is one thing you can do to let go of your ego?

• Wish someone a Happy Mother’s Day—maybe someone whom you wouldn’t usually think of as a mother figure in your life. If they have passed away, find a way to offer good wishes, like lighting a candle or writing a card.

• When have you most clearly seen the light of Christ? Where were you? Who were you with? What made the moment special?

Victor Greene, preacher

• How will you celebrate and honor Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month?

• Do you have a fishing story? What is it? Think Back. How might’ve God called for your attention?

• How can we, this month, live into being dancers and maroons who form a floating village? How can we best show up?
