Going Deeper; the “One Thing”
The Lord answered her,
“Martha, Martha, you are
worried and distracted
by many things; there is
need of only one thing.
Mary has chosen the
better part, which will not
be taken away from her.” –Luke 10:41-42

Way of Life
St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church is a community of
people invited by Christ to meet him at his table, in
each other, and in our neighbors. As apprentices, we
practice following the Way of Jesus as expressed in the
Anglican tradition, in the power of the Spirit, so we can
participate in God’s healing of ourselves and the world.
We understand Jesus’ Way to embody these themes:
• Story: Learning God's story and finding ourselves in it
• Prayer: Attending with openness to God and the world
• Simplicity: Decluttering our lives so we can be
faithfully present to God and one another

Way of Life, cont.

do you imagine God is bringing forth in our
midst?”
