The Season of Noticing
Learning to see what is actually happening.
This season centers on listening—paying attention to God, to one another, and to the realities of life within the Christian community without rushing to interpret or fix.

How This Season Helps Restore Balance
This season often helps bring vision and relationships back into focus when decisions have become reactive or procedural.
When pressure builds, churches often move quickly toward action, solutions, or decisions before fully understanding what is happening. This season restores balance by slowing the community down and placing attention ahead of response. By listening carefully to God, to one another, and to lived realities, the community resists acting out of anxiety and creates the clarity needed for faithful next steps.

The following practices are offered as a gentle guide for a Christian community entering a Season of Noticing. They may be woven into personal prayer, worship, shared meals, meetings, retreats, or other moments of communal life as feels fitting. These practices are not requirements or prescriptions, but invitations—meant to encourage attentiveness, faithfulness, and responsiveness to God and to one another.
