They used to pass baskets of the stars in church on Epiphany Sunday, and you pulled one at random. Each star has a word (most are "fruits of the spirit") that you are supposed to consider during the coming year. @wiesnerbeth
@margonaut I love that idea! I picked a word to guide my year two years ago and one to guide this school year, but I love the idea of picking a word by chance. Your church does a lot of wonderful things!
@wiesnerbeth Thanks, but actually lots of churches do this. My facebook feed was full of stars on Sunday. I was pleasantly surprised to find that our new pastor brought stars this year without even knowing that we used to do it! Mine said "receive". Bring it on!
