Journey Into Lent 2013

7:00 PM

A time for conversations, study, prayer, and music, in an informal setting (in the Commons).  I hope you will join me, along with your brothers and sisters in Christ here at Community of ChristChurch, and in congregations throughout Oregon, in taking this journey together.

This discussion will follow the book: Christianity After Religion by Diana Butler Bass ($15.99).  A group book order will be placed Tuesday, February 5th. Look for details in the Entry this Sunday. You may also download it via the web for Kindle or iPad ($9.99).

Something new, this season, is an online community website where you can communicate and collaborate with others in a safe online environment.  Check out "Soul Cafe" sponsored by the Oregon ELCA (soulcafe.org/group/lent2013)

An Invitation from the Bishop this Lenten Season...

Calling all who seek the abundant life…

               In the tenth chapter of John’s gospel, Jesus says,

                           “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

Don’t we all want to have the abundant life?

       But what do we mean when we talk about the abundant life?

              What does the world tell us about the abundant life?

                      What does Jesus mean by the abundant life?

 
Calling all who seek the abundant life to gather at St. Luke Lutheran Church on Saturday, February 23^rd, for coffee, pastries, and conversation with Dr. David Lose.

If that name sounds familiar to you, it is because David Lose is the author of Making Sense of Scripture, a book that several members of ChristChurch have studied together over the past year. I have had the opportunity to hear Dr. Lose speak in a variety of settings and I always come away inspired and hopeful about the future of church in the 21^st century.

I plan to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to join in the conversation and I hope you will too.

God’s peace,

Pastor David
