Book of Faith Initiative

 

Thursdays in July: 17, 24, 31 at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

 

In 2007 the ELCA churchwide assembly voted to embrace an initiative called Book of Faith. The bold vision for this five-year initiative is:

 

That the whole church become more fluent in the first language of faith, the language of Scripture, in order that we might live into our calling as a people renewed, enlivened, empowered, and sent by the Word.

 

This book, Opening the Book of Faith, is your invitation to engage in this vision. Through this book and through this initiative, we will be called to experience more fully the power of the Word and to recall or learn anew the Lutheran approaches to Scripture that have been so fruitful over the centuries.

 

The Book of Faith initiative calls for a conversation that is deep and broad, including folks of all ages and across all the many cultures that inform who we are as a people of God. Visit the ELCA website for more information: elca.org/bookoffaith.

 

Join Pastor Bill in July as he leads a the study on the first book.  

 

 

Women’s Book Group To Meet August 28th

 

On August 28, 2008 at 7:00 p.m., the women’s book group will discuss “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. This book is written by Relin as told by Mortenson. It’s a story by award-winning journalist Relin that recounts the slow and arduous task Mortenson set for himself, a one-man mission aimed particularly at bringing education to young girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan. You’ll need to pick up your own copy of this book as a book kit is not available.

 

See the sign-up sheets on the bulletin board for more information.
