Living Scripture: Finding God in Our Story
We will explore fascinating aspects of our primitive Christian
churches and see how these discoveries can inspire the St. John
the Baptist family as a new emerging church. Through the use of
Scripture texts and stories we will bring a first century Christian
church to life. We will discover what it means to find God in our
story and what it means to become “Living Scripture.”
Our Lenten Day of Reflection:
9:30-10:00 Registration, Coffee and Pastries
10:00-12:00 Finding God in Our Common Story:
We will examine how an ancient household became a
primitive Christian church—how it began, how it took care
of its members, and how it took care of the vulnerable in
society (e.g. Works of Mercy). We will delve into living
the Christian community today.
12:00-1:00 Lunch will be provided
1:00-3:00 Finding God in Our Personal Story:
We will engage in a story-telling process of finding
God in our past and in our still unfolding story. We
will examine how our encounters with God have
become “Living Scripture” and how these encounters
shape our vision of an emerging church.
Registration will be taken after mass on March 11, 12, 18, and
19. You may also call the Parish Office @ 806-771-2673 or email
@ [email protected] before Tuesday, March 21.
