Hands to Hearts Prayer Shawl ministry

Our congregation has a wonderful Prayer Shawls ministry. Prayer shawls, blankets, quilts, pocket squares, etc. were collected for this year and dedicated on Sunday, June 1. Please feel free to drop donations off at church any time so our congregation can share in the blessing of these symbols of God’s love and compassion. If you know someone who would benefit from recieving a prayer shawl, please speak with Sue Farley, Theresa Lassselle, or Nancy McNiven.

NEXT JOINT FALL BOOK STUDY GROUP BEGINS SEPTEMBER 21

This fall, we will be reading another book together and discussing it and its impact on our faith and our life. We will be reading Jesus Changes Everything: A New World Made Possible by Stanley Hauerwas. 

"How can we make the gospel central to our lives?

"For decades, Stanley Hauerwas has been provoking Christians with his insistence that if they would only follow their Master, it would impact all areas of life, from the personal to the societal.

"The lanky Texan whom Time magazine dubbed 'America’s theologian' for his zinging insights into today’s ethical questions says Christians should stop bemoaning their loss of cultural and political power and instead welcome their status as outsiders and embrace the radical alternative Jesus has had in mind for them all along.

"These accessible readings selected from Hauerwas’s seminal books will introduce a timely, prophetic voice to another generation of followers of Jesus tired of religion as usual."

This book will be sure to challenge every one of us in our life of faith. We will meet September 21, October 5, 19, November 2, 16 and December 7. There are six parts to the book, and six sessions—so we will start with Part I on the 21st. We will meet at the Altamont Reformed Church from 7–8pm. The book can be ordered through your favorite purveyor of books.
