Neighborhood Prayer Group “Next Steps” Meeting

main image

On Monday, April 29, anyone (and everyone) is invited to a discussion and conversation about “next steps” as it relates to our connection with our immediate neighborhood. This conversation will pick up where the Neighborhood Prayer Group left off.  As you might remember, a Neighborhood Prayer Group met every Monday from early February through Palm Sunday to pray for our neighborhood.  In our attempt to be “good neighbors” in our immediate environment and to build connections with those who share this space with us, we want to keep this mission and purpose ever before us.  Any decision we, as a church, make regarding anything formal or official will made through the church council.  We envision this kind of a meeting to be one that keeps the conversation going as we seek to discern how and where God might be leading us.  If you’re interested, join us in the Disciples Room at 5:00 p.m.

Melinda is delighted to begin our life together with a course on what it means to be community and how best to function as co-listeners to God and each other.  The book, LIFE TOGETHER, by Dietrich Bonhoeffer is highly recommended for our three-week course beginning  Tuesday evening, 4/30, 5:30 pm - 6:45 pm. We will have Communion our last   session.  Come, even if you don't have a book, please. We have ordered ten copies for the church.  Or you can purchase your own copy on Amazon.  You may need to bring your own journals, but session outlines for each  session will be given.  Please sign up with your name, email address, and phone number in the Welcome Center/Great Hall.  Or you may email Melinda directly at:  Please indicate if you will order the book on your own or want to purchase one of the books the church has purchased.
