We’ve had a lovely summer with Walking the Way – Christ in the Center, exploring numerous ways to nurture the spirit within. And as the warmer days wind down, we still have a few last offerings….
Tend Your Spirit with a New Practice
Knit/Crochet a Prayer Shawl
Tues, Sept 12, 5 pm, at Bethany
Earlier this year, ten women gathered to knit, crochet, talk and pray together. This gathering will offer guidance on knitting and crocheting and the ministry of creating prayer shawls for those in need of encouragement and/or consolation.
Your Final Witness to Faith
Tues, Oct 3, 5 pm, at Bethany
Your funeral/memorial service/Celebration of Life is an important opportunity to share your faith with your family and friends. Planning your service is a precious gift you can give to your family. You’ll be guided through a series of questions and decisions to create a personal gathering that shares what you would want your loved ones and friends to know about your life and your faith.
Explore Your Faith Journey
A Women’s Reading Circle
Thurs, Sept 28, & Thurs, Oct 12, 11 am, at Bethany
Is a woman’s journey to God different than a man’s? Does it matter?
How does the Church influence our approach to God? Is it just about pronouns, or is it something else?
Join us for the last two conversations in our women’s reading circle, to discuss the many ways in which women in today’s world follow a spiritual path.
Each session begins with a short meditation and then, using Methodist minister Jan L. Richardson’s In the Sanctuary of Women as a guide, we’ll hold space for each other as we discuss our own spiritual journeys, the spiritual journeys of other women throughout history, how we may have been influenced by the journeys of these women, and whether we can learn from them.
Join us to explore your faith journey in a circle of kindness and respect. This Circle is open to all and there is no attendance requirement; come when your schedule allows and bring your lunch if you like.
Walking the Way – Christ in the Center is a joint effort of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church and Bethany Lutheran Church.
