Work

Bonnie introduced Part Two of the Third Way Collective Rhythm, which focuses on our work. It is linked to the second section of the Lord’s Prayer (“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”). The prayer for this portion is, “Lord, may your will be my will today, in everything I do and with everyone I meet.”

Our Morning Focus

The way we start our day is incredibly important. It can set the entire trajectory for the rest of the day. The Third Way community is embarking on a new journey together by sharing a collective rhythm of daily spiritual practices formed around the Lord’s Prayer. The goal is to daily open ourselves up to God’s influence and transforming power. Our morning focus within the rhythm is centered on “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.” As a community, we want to use a portion of our mornings to worship God and invite God to direct our day so that God is glorified.
