Prayer can transform us – helping us to become love in the world. Connect with God and others while sampling a variety of prayer practices like journaling, Loving Kindness Meditation, Centering Prayer, the Examen and the Labyrinth, among others. Whether these practices are unknown to you or a beloved part of your spiritual practice – find new friends while praying together online in the comfort of your home. Become grounded in how the Spirit has wired YOU and be fueled for action toward your unique calling. Going inward, grounded in God's love and mercy, builds faith, wisdom, courage and resilience for choosing the path of love and justice as we live our callings to participate in the healing of God's creation.
These sessions will be guided by a spiritual director and are made possible through a Lilly grant funded initiative at St. Catherine's University. Zoom link for the online sessions will be emailed after registration.
Note: The sessions on September 17 and June 17 will be in person. The rest of the sessions will be on Zoom.
September 30 - November 11
Wednesdays | 4:30pm-5:30pm | Fireside Room
Dive deep into the Apostle Paul's letters with this seven-week Bible study led by Dr. Ron Troxel, and stick around afterward for community and a delicious meal prepared by Deacon Chef Bridgette Weber. Paul matters for Lutherans. Luther saw to that. But also, Luther's reliance on Paul's letters carries unexpected difficulties for the modern reader. The goal of this series is not to "rehabilitate Paul" but to ensure that we have heard him correctly.
September 30 - December 2
Wednesdays | 7pm-8pm | Fireside Room
Note: No Meeting on 10/14 and 11/25
Jesus said, “Come and follow me (Matthew 4:19).” What does it mean to follow and live like Jesus in our world today? How do we work as his disciples? In such a time as this, a time that is marked by confusion, cruelty, and chaos where the name of Jesus is being used in ways that do not look like Jesus, WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? And how can we as a community link our arms and move our feet to embody his love by doing what he taught us: love our neighbors, build relationships, put faith into practice, and act together for justice and the common good.
Through Scripture, conversation, storytelling, relationship-building, and reflection, we will discover how Christ calls us to live our faith and take action for the benefit of our neighbor.
Whether you are regularly living out your faith in public or more uncertain how to do so, there is a place for you here. Come and see what we can do as a group of believers to positively impact our community.
6th Graders - Adults
Conference Room
Circle up with others for a simple faith practice before Sunday worship. Read the Bible passage for worship, sit in silence for a moment before sharing and listening to what sparked for each person. Everyone has something to receive and to offer. The Spirit moves as we listen to each other and to Jesus.
