SUNDAYS—10 AM

Bread & Wine
Katherine Gould

MEETING SPACE: Kitchen

DATES: Sep 19-Oct 24

​

A class for women based on the book Bread & Wine by

Shauna Niequist

We will gather each week to make a favorite recipe from one of our own that we can take home to share with our family and friends.  We will use the book to guide our discussion while we cook, but you don’t have to read to participate.  Please do signup so we know how much to purchase and a $10 contribution each week is recommended.

Please contact Katherine Gould with any questions or thoughts!  

Bread & Wine is a collection of essays about family relationships, friendships, and the meals that bring us together. This mix of Anne Lamott and Barefoot Contessa is a funny, honest, and vulnerable spiritual memoir. Bread & Wine is a celebration of food shared, reminding readers of the joy found in a life around the table. It’s about the ways God teaches and nourishes people as they nourish the people around them. It’s about hunger, both physical and otherwise, and the connections between the two.

Journeys of Faith

Lord, Teach Us to Pray
Bunny Cox

MEETING SPACE: Conference Room

DATES: Nov 3-Dec 13

​

One day Jesus was praying in a certain place.  When he finished, one

of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’...”  Luke 11:1a NIV.

Our lives are filled with busy-ness and distractions. As a result, our prayer lives, our relationship with God, may become dry or non-existent. Our prayers may seem dull and unsatisfactory, or we might not pray at all. To explore various prayer forms which may add freshness to your prayer life and relationship with God, join Bunny Cox, Christ Church member, spiritual director and retreat leader for six classes which will include prayer experiences, music, quiet time for reflection, and optional sharing.  (There will be no class Thanksgiving week.)

Bring your journal, and email Bunny if you plan to attend, so she will know how many to prepare for..
