Hope is Here!
Spiritual Practices for Pursuing Justice and Beloved Community
Joyful and daunting opportunities to live into God’s dream of justice and beloved community are compelling and available. Hope, says Luther Smith Jr., is essential to the needed personal and social transformations that prepare us for such sacred opportunities. Yet genuine hope is often confused as merely wish fulfillment, optimism, or perceiving better tomorrows.
In Hope Is Here! Smith describes how we truly perceive and join “the work of hope,” enlivening us to a life that is oriented toward immediate and future experiences of personal fulfillment, justice, and beloved community and prepares us to engage racism, mass incarceration, environmental crises, divisive politics; and indifference that imperil justice and beloved community.
Pastor Esther will lead this study on Wednesday evenings, 6:30-7:30 p.m., starting February 5. Smith’s book can be purchased on Amazon, or any book seller you prefer. Please obtain it before the first class.
Parenting Workshop: Building Strong Families
Join Bill Williams from EmberHope on Wednesdays @ 6:30 p.m., starting February 5, for a practical and hope-filled training grounded in scripture designed to equip and encourage parents at every stage. Topics to be covered include learning about intentional parenting, setting boundaries, effective communication, and addressing challenging behaviors.
Embracing the Bible
The ongoing Embracing the Bible study follows the Revised Common Lectionary. The focus is on a particular theme each week. This means that you can come and go as your schedule allows, you can drop in at any time, and you won’t feel as if you’ve missed anything. The Thursday group is facilitated by Sharon Spore-Pepper and the Sunday group is facilitated by Bill Glunt.
Registration is not required, although you are welcome to.
Guest and New Member Orientation
The Guest and New Member Orientation occurs on the first Wednesday of the month @ 6:30 p.m. Hear the Aldersgate story and take a tour of the church building. No registration is required. Find out more.
