Opportunities for Growth

Dear Friends, There are several learning opportunities coming up in week ahead that I wanted keep on your radar. - "Aslan on the Move" : This Sunday (downstairs in Jerusalem Room) at 9:30 AM we gather together for a presentation / discussion based on Christian themes found in the C.S. Lewis classic, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." This gathering will continue through November 24. Anyone from high school students to senior citizens are welcome to attend. Join us and be enriched in faith. - "Lunch Bunch Bible Study" - We gather each Thursday at noontime in St. Andrew's Hall to look a little deeper at the assigned bible texts that will be proclaimed the upcoming Sunday. We provide coffee and printed out texts. You are free to bring Bibles and a bagged lunch if you wish. People who rarely take part in Bible Study have become a part of this group and have found it very helpful in their walk of faith.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world, especia

While this will not be a primary focus on Sunday, I thought I would share with you below a reflection by Christian writer Brian McClaren bringing fresh meaning to a prayer that has become so familiar that, unfortunately, it can become rote and uttered with little meaning or reflection. I hope that you will find this helpful for your own time in prayer. And who knows? It may even show up sometime in a worship service. A Spoken Version of the Lord’s Prayer This rendering of the Lord’s prayer uses unfamiliar words and phrasing to help us actually hear its message rather than lapsing into an auto-pilot recitation.
