The Discipleship Committee has chosen a great new summer read, The Possibility of Prayer: Finding Stillness with God in a Restless World, by John Starke. If your prayer life is already robust, satisfying and fully life-giving, you may not need this book. But if you desire a deeper, more authentic, transformative connection with God through prayer then this book is for you.

Here’s a little teaser about the book, “The world clamors for efficiency and productivitybut the life of prayer is neither, efficient nor productive. Instead, as we learn in the Psalms, prayer calls us to wait, to watch, to listen and to see. These things are not productive by any modern measure – but they are transformative.” The author invites us to discover the possibility of prayer through practical guidance and ancient rhythms which help us to become people who live and love a prayerful life.

I hope you will join us in this summer’s read. This can be purchased through Amazon for $16.00. It is also available through Kindle and Audible and likely, it will be available in other book stores as well. The discipleship committee plans to buy several copies to place in the foyer for your purchasing convenience, but you can also pick it up on your own.

Following Easter we will study the book of Acts using a video series by Randy Frazze called 40 Days Through the Book of Acts – The Revolution of Faith. 

The book of Acts is a joyful celebration of how God’s revolutionary message was unstoppable and contagious. In it we discover that the Church is more dynamic than we dream, grace is the secret sauce of God’s revolution, and God’s way is not my way! Throughout this study you will hear a consistent invitation to join the revolution of faith and love that Jesus started two millennia ago. This will be a good study to see how the disciples carried on after Christ’s ascension 

This 6-week series from April 27^th through June 1^st will be a good study to see how the disciples carried on following Easter and Christ’s ascension. I hope you will join us.
