Rev. Deacon
Cindy Serio United Methodist 
|
Hello! I am an ordained deacon in the United Methodist Church, appointed since 2009, to develop a ministry of spiritual formation which I call MOSAIC Spiritual Formation Ministry.
MOSAIC was called into creation at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary as I was engaged in prayer via Lectio Divina. I was meditating on John 6:1-14. In verse 12 of the NRSV, Jesus says, “Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost." Somehow ... as I sat with these words in the silence I knew God was asking me, starting with myself, to help people gather up the pieces of their lives so that no ONE is lost. I believe that God desires that each of us become the person we were created to be. In God's image we were created to BE whole. |
So ... my mission in life and ministry is to "create beauty from the broken pieces of life."
I live and move and have my being at the intersection of contemplation, creativity, and compassion as I see to live out what Jesus considered the greatest commandments: Loving God, Loving Self, Loving Others.

- Through contemplative spiritual practices I seek God to a depth I cannot in any other way, which means I dwell in silence for much of my devotional time.
- Through creative processes I seek to know myself, to understand the gifts I have and to practice becoming who I was created to be.
- Through the compassion that flows out of knowing God and myself, I reach out into the world to others and am especially drawn to empowering women on the margins of life.
