Or maybe you know (or didn’t know) that we have one mowed into the grass in our church gardens. But what is it exactly and where did this idea come from? Jodi Hanson joins Marnie to give us more insight into walking the prayer labyrinth. Believe it or not, they have been around since 1200 A.D. (the one at Spirit of Joy is modeled after a labyrinth in the Chartres Cathedral in France). It is a spiritual practice that you can do alone, with a group, at your own pace, to help guide you through prayer and meditation.

Written in 1580, it is the document that creates the foundation that all Lutheran churches can agree upon. The word “concord” literally means an agreement or harmony between people or groups.

Bella and Heather talk about the enjoyment of a group of instrumentalists and singers creating music together. They give a little plug to invite more people to join in to play/sing (especially if you play guitar!).

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[On this episode of Full of Joy, we welcome into the studio our youngest guest to date, Taylor Quinn. Taylor shares his life story of the last twenty years which has involved major life transitions and personal tragedy, but also how these experiences have helped him to find the good in difficult situations. Currently a sophomore at Augustana University majoring in government and economics (with goals of going to law school and the military), he discusses why service is so important to his faith and why he truly believes in loving your neighbor as yourself. And he talks about the importance to his faith of being surrounded by good family and friends. Trust us, he is no ordinary Gen Z’er!]]></itunes:summary>

Mary’s song, known as The Magnificat, is the most familiar, and we sing it every week during Advent services as part of Holden Evening Prayer. These are two of the three songs we will be including this year during Advent services: Hannah’s song (1st Samuel 2), Mary’s song (Luke 1), and Zechariah’s song (Luke 1). All three songs of prayer and praise relate to the birth of a child: Samuel, John the Baptist, and Jesus.]]></itunes:summary>

At Spirit of Joy, we call these frequent pieces that help connect everything together Common Threads. Heather Wald explains all the different ways we incorporate these reoccurring segments and how our worship and visual arts teams intentionally plan out all the details. We also discuss how the lectionary helps us organize our worship services into a three-year cycle. And Heather talks about some of the different ways YOU can be involved to help with our worship (hint…there is a shameless plug to join the choir).]]></itunes:summary>
