Reading Isaiah in Times of Crisis

Sundays, September 20–November 22, 9:15–10:15am. Meet in South Hall.

We turn to the Prophets for many reasons: comfort, inspiration, instruction, warning. We also turn to their message when we feel we have few other ways to hear God’s word in a loud and angry world. The Prophets often spoke most directly when the people faced a real crisis, whether the people knew it or not. Most of all, we turn to them for word that God remains with us, that even in the harshest judgment of our wrongs, there remains hope that with God’s love, our hopes will bear fruit. In this study, we will look at key moments in the Prophet Isaiah’s teaching that reveal God’s perspective and will, especially in times of crisis and doubt.

Contemplative Scripture Study

Sundays, September 27, October 18, November 1, and November 22, at 4:00pm. Meet in the Chapel.

All are welcome to join us for a contemplative study of the lectionary (scripture readings for the week) and community prayer.

Create community through collective reading and inquiry of lectionary passages followed by periods of silence to explore the personal significance of the passage. We have the opportunity to share with our small group the way we are called to bring this message into our life. After this we pray for each other.

This is a deeply meaningful way to bring scripture into our lives and make deep connections with each other.

Contact Valeria Stutz or Jennifer Blakeney with any questions.
