Rev Jonalu Johnstone speaks.  Every day, almost every moment, we are besieged by distractions.  The best counter is attention and intention. Attention implies focus.  We don’t attend, in general; rather, we attend to something specific.  This plays out in our individual lives in many ways — how we organize our priorities, how we balance our lives between work, leisure and family, how we make choices (or defer them).  It also plays out in our congregational lives.  Attention invites us to choose where to look, to understand where we are, and to be deliberate in what we do.  Our convener is Sarah Desmet at sarah.e.desmet@gmail.com.
