Christian Formation Covenant Group

Another Christian Formation Group has begun meeting. This group will meet off and on for two years, and the purpose of the meetings is to take a close look at our life together, and our own individual lives to see how we are doing in our on-going, lifelong effort to form and be formed as Christian disciples. The work they are doing is important for us as we seek the leadership of the Spirit in a new mission effort. Please remember them, pray for them, and encourage them. They are: Marie Anderson, Aaron Bond, Margaret and Sam Drummond, Emily Fokeladeh, Cliff Johnson, Susan Meadors, Bo Roberts, Buddy Wagner, Maureen Wishkoski, and Joann and Craig Young.

Lenten Book Recommended

There will be two groups for the Lenten Book Study, one which will meet on Sunday nights at 6 p.m., and another which will meet Tuesday nights at 7 p.m.   Books have been purchased and distributed and additional books ordered at a cost of $20 if you have not received yours.  The second order of books should arrive this week. 

The book to be studied is The Seven Deadly Sins Sampler, edited by Daniel Born, Mike Levine, and Don Whitfield.  This sampler is fourteen short story masterpieces selected for discussion and reflection on the seven deadly sins of Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.  As a preview, the first is Pride:  "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner and "Good Country People" by Flannery O'Connor.
