Christians are an “Easter people”, called to abundant life. But how?
To address this, COS will offer a 4-week series, “Living like a Christian.” What does that really mean? The series starts Thursday, April 18, with three meetings at 6:30 PM via Zoom, and one in-person meeting at the rectory on May 9 at 6 PM.
During the second session, held on April 25, Steve Peterson will lead a conversation about teaching Financial Health at Stateville Prison, or How to Get Rich (in both senses of the word) slowly. Topics covered will include Mike Tyson, Ecclesiastes, Navy Seal breathing, Dorothy Day, predatory lending, and simplicity.
Week three focuses on the stewarding of time and attention. On May 2, Parish Life Director Gregory Peebles will present on prayer, offering “lifehacks” for folks who desire to increase their capacity for prayer, but who may have difficulty stewarding their time and attention in a world often hostile to contemplation.
At the final session, at 6 PM on May 9, there will be food and a special “all-ages” presentation led by Betsy Peterson. This event will be held in the rectory, after which, a brief, modified, candle-lit compline liturgy in the chapel will conclude the series.
