Full-Spectrum Praying:

A 7-Fold Way of Getting it All Said before You Say Amen

Learn a way to pray that “gets it all said” – Everything...Everything... that’s in your heart and your mind before you say Amen.

Even things you did not know you were carrying in your heart.

Spring cleaning and lunch

Women's Bible/Book Study 

Tuesday, March 18 Noon to 1:30pm in Parish Hall Classroom

Our Women's Bible/Book Study group continues the study of The Message of Jesus, by Adam Hamilton. In this six-week series, pastor and author Adam Hamilton, explores 6 of the most important themes in Jesus's teachings; why they matter and how they speak to us, today. It explores his teaching on the Kingdom of God, The Sermon on the Mount, the Parables, the "I Am" sayings from John's gospel and more. So often our attention is placed on the miracles, death and resurrection of Jesus. But, it is his message that gives his actions their meaning. Maybe we can renew our wonder at Jesus's words. While "the Kingdom of God" is not mentioned in the Old Testament, as such, it was the central focus of the message of Jesus of Nazareth. Lent is a 40 day time of self-examination. It is our prayer that this study will help us to do just that for the next 40 days. We meet the first and third Tuesdays of the month from noon to 1:30 p.m. It would be a good time to bring your lunch and join us.... Sincerely, Sally

Sunday Adult Education

Lenten Soup Suppers

5 – 6:30 pm in the Parish Hall

Wednesday Evenings:

March 26, April 2, April 9

(Off for Spring Break on March 19)

Our Lenten Soup Suppers feature tasty homemade soups, good fellowship and conversation. This year’s devotional study which forms the basis of our conversation is C. S. Lewis and the Delightful, Diabolical Daring of Lent: A Lenten Companion to The Screwtape Letters.

With humor, wit, and imagination, Lewis explores an array of familiar, everyday struggles – and thereby charts a way forward.

Pick up your Devotional Study Booklet in the Narthex or Church Office.

The Screwtape Letters is readily available at your favorite place to get books, e-books, & audiobooks.

Enjoy having John Cleese read these letters to you HERE
