Easter Lilies--orders accepted > 공지사항

 

Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”   And they answered him, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”   He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah.”   And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him. 

 

Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.   He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.  But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.” 

 

The church has purchased Lenten Devotional books as a resource to  guide you through this season of the year.   Psalm 51:10 says, "Create in me a clean heart, O God." Isn't that what Lent does for us? In Fellowship of Prayer 2014,  Julie Richardson Brown shows us how all days, not just those during Lent, are sacred opportunities for introspection and renewal.   You can pick up your copy from the table in the lobby (narthex) of the church.  If you prefer to read on an electronic reading device, you can purchase your own copy at: http://www.chalicepress.com/Fellowship-of-Prayer-2014-EPDF-P1424.aspx

Silence is hard to find in our busy modern life. Yet, silence has been an integral quality of spiritual practices throughout history. We are offering two times for you to participate in a time of "spiritual silence" in our beautiful chapel. We hope you avail yourself of these opportunities and find them meaningful.
