Deep Mystery, Deeper Love: What I’m Coming to Believe, About the Christian Faith
All preachers have a theological framework (conscious or not) that undergirds their preaching. Likewise, all of us have a theological framework (conscious or not) through which we hear, interpret, and understand sermons, scripture, devotional and inspirational readings. Our theological framework isn’t confined to our religious or spiritual practice, though - it informs how we see and interpret the world around us, our relationships, and our whole lives.
It seems only fair that you should know where I am coming from when I preach, teach, and write, and the evolving theology that informs my prayer, work, and living in the world. This Adult Forum series is meant to do three things:
· ”Pull back the curtain” on my own thought processes and beliefs as I prepare and deliver sermons
· Invite participants to explore their own beliefs about God and the Christian faith in an environment of curiosity and discovery
· Discuss how our beliefs shape our thoughts, feelings, relationships and actions as we navigate through everyday living
Please join us Wednesday evenings during Lent for Simple Soup Suppers at 6:00 PM, followed by Adult Forum from 7:00-8:15 PM - come for one or the other, or both!
Women’s Bible Study
Women’s Bible Study meets at 9: 30 a.m. Thursdays in the Phil Room. This season, Deacon Tara Osborne will lead a study on the Gospel of John. All women are welcome. If you need a ride please contact Diane Sellinger. If you have any questions, please contact Wendee Greene at wendeegreene75@gmail.com.
Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer is a form of Christian silent prayer and meditation that can more deeply center us in the life of faith. Each session opens with the lectio--a Bible verse--which participants are invited to reflect on and discuss. A 20-minute period of contemplative prayer follows. The group meets for an hour beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday via Zoom. All are welcome.
