“One to Another in Christ” Continues Throughout October
On September 15, we began our fall focus for 2013. The overall theme for this year’s emphasis is “One to Another in Christ.” We have a new topic each week and lots of small group and Adult Forum opportunities to dig into the topic for the week. Each Sunday, we introduce that week’s topic and theme. During the week, we invite you to join a group to explore deeper ways this topic might play out in our lives. If you are interested in participating in a small group, please complete the Connecting form in Sunday’s The Grapevine, or call or email the church office.
October’s Weekly Topics:
October 6 – Hebrews 10:19-25, 1 John 4:7-21, “How Can the Spirit Be in our Giving and Serving?”
Giving is an act and exercise of faith which opens our lives and prepares us for God’s next great directing in our lives. It also begins the work of looking beyond ourselves to community, service and being about God’s work in the world.
October 13 – Luke 10:25-37, “How Can We Know It’s Our Neighbor in the Ditch?”
The lengths that we are willing to go for those close to us seem to be longer and deeper than for a stranger. How then can we know the person in the ditch is our neighbor?
October 20 – Luke 9:1-6, Luke 10:1-17, “Sent Out Two by Two”
When Jesus sends us out, these two things are true: there are important things for us to learn and there are lives that we are sent to touch in Jesus’ name.
October 27 – Acts 3:1-16, “Life in the Church Comes from God and Catches Fire in Community”
Coming together and offering what we have (life and blessings in Christ) are a sign of Jesus’ living presence. These gifts shared in community begin to flow into the abundance that always comes with God’s giving. Life in Christ will always express itself in abundance and hope shared in community. This work of the Spirit will always bring sustenance and reformation to the church.
