SUMMARY:Bringing Light Into Advent Darkness (small group)
DESCRIPTION:The practice of lighting Advent candles symbolizes the process of increasing candlelight each week in the face of increasing darkness\, or shorter daylight\, each week. \nUsing the four Advent candle themes—hope\, love\, joy\, and peace—this three-week\, small group experience offers four different prayer practices. This group invites participants to explore breath prayer\, examen\, praying scripture\, and intercessory prayer. The goal is to encourage one another to pray intentionally during a season so frequently filled with anxiety\, stress\, and grief. The hope is that our renewed prayer practices may lead us into a new year that continues Advent themes. No experience necessary. \nThe Zoom experience begins Monday\, November 27 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. and continues on December 4 and 11. Facilitators are Mary Cauble and Bonny Roth.  Register here.  For more information\, contact Tom Scott\, at tom.scott.goblue@msn.com.

SUMMARY:Journey to the Common Good: Fostering Connection and Relational Discipleship During an Epidemic of Loneliness
DESCRIPTION:Despite the proliferation of opportunities to be connected by social media in 2023\, people feel less connected than ever. The increasing lack of connection has been called by some an “epidemic of loneliness.” Moreover\, the divisiveness over political and social issues in our culture continues to foster alienation and not connection. This lack of connection is being felt across age groups\, and people are spending less time with one another in person than two decades ago. If one of the ministries of the church is to foster community and encourage individuals to thrive in community\, how can and how does the church address the lack of connection in today’s society? Being part of a church community involves being connected and feeling close to one another in the community. Being in church means feeling cared for by others. During this epidemic of loneliness\, in what ways can the church create the kind of community in which people care for others and feel cared for? The three classes in this series will focus on the increasing lack of connections in society and the ways that the church can respond to this situation by cultivating relationships and interconnectedness in the face of this “epidemic of loneliness.” Adults of all ages are encouraged to attend each session. \nDecember 3: Interconnectedness in Youth\nDecember 10: Interconnectedness in Middle Life\nDecember 17: Interconnectedness in Elder Life

SUMMARY:Compline Night Prayer Service
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesdays beginning January 2nd\, you are invited to a thirty minute Night Prayer Service to end your day in community and peace. These services from 8:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.\, available via Zoom\, are patterned after the ancient monastic tradition of Compline (meaning completion)–the final prayer of the day. We will follow a simple liturgical format for this service of quietness and reflection before rest. Persons of all ages are encouraged to give this spiritual practice a try. The zoom format invites participation from anywhere! We are enriched when family & friends in many locations join in. The services\, sponsored by the Faith Formation Council\, will continue through Lent\, concluding on March 19th. Participants may attend as schedules allow. Contact Tom Scott (tom.scott.goblue@msn.com) to sign up or with questions.
