On Saturday, February 28 from 9:00 to 4:00, Rev. Teri Smith-Jones, LC, and Deacon Kathleen Smith-Jones will lead our partnership community in a Lenten retreat at St. Joseph. This retreat will offer an opportunity to enter more deeply into a Holy Lent through contemplation and prayer.  As part of this retreat, we will have the opportunity to make prayer beads and prayer journals.  We will explore the use of prayer beads and journaling as ways to deepen our prayer lives, and we will be invited to write or chose our own prayers to use when praying with our beads.  We will also explore ways to use the Book of Common Prayer for personal devotions, and to incorporate other prayer practices, such as contemplative prayer, praying the hours, and Lectio Divina into our prayer lives.  As part of our retreat, Deacon Kathleen will lead us in morning, noonday, and evening prayer, and a simple lunch of soup and bread will be served.  There is no cost to participate in this retreat or for the supplies provided, but because these supplies must be purchased and attendance must be limited based on the supplies available, we ask that you contact one of the church offices or Rev.  Doug as soon as possible to sign up for this retreat.

LONGEST NIGHT SERVICE (BLUE CHRISTMAS)

On December 20 from 4:00-4:45 p.m. at St. Joseph, Deacon Kathleen will lead us in a Longest Night service, which is also known as Blue Christmas.  This service (offered as we approach the longest night of the year) is a time to acknowledge the grief that is often silently held by members of our community during a season that is otherwise marked by celebration.  It is also a time to remember those we love but see no longer.  Please join us as we offer prayers and light candles in solidarity with those for whom this season brings sadness as well as joy.  Although this service will follow our Advent retreat, you need not attend the retreat to attend this service.  Please also invite any of your friends and neighbors who might appreciate the support of our community during this holy season.

RETREAT: WE ARE CALLED TO BE GOD-BEARERS

On Saturday, December 20 from 9:00 to 4:00, at St. Joseph, Rev. Teri Smith-Jones, LC, will lead us in an Advent retreat. This retreat will offer an opportunity for us to step away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparation and consider more fully the true meaning of Advent and Christmas.  During this retreat, we will be invited to journey with Jesus’ mother, Mary, through iconic images, the words of Scripture, and Christian tradition.  We will explore Mary’s role as the one who said “yes” to God’s invitation and became the God-bearer (Theotokos), and we will contemplate the ways in which God is inviting us to be God-bearers in today’s world. Because lunch will be provided, we ask that you add your name to the sign-up sheet at either of our churches, or contact either church office to register so that we know how much food to provide (but if you only find that you can attend at the last minute, please come even if you don’t sign up).  Please also invite your friends and neighbors to join us.

Letters of Paul Class

Paul’s arrival in Jerusalem in 57 C.E. does not go well.  The book of Acts tells of a mob who attacks Paul.  Then Paul’s nephew warns of a plot to kill Paul, and the commander orders two centurions with 400 Roman soldiers and 70 cavalry to escort Paul to Caesaria.  There, he will be under house arrest at the governor’s palace, but exercises his right as a Roman citizen to a hearing before the Emperor in Rome.  The governor declared, “You have appealed to Caesar.  To Caesar you will go!”  (Why does Paul think he will be safe in Rome?)  Join us, as Paul, Luke, and others board a ship and set out on their journey.
