Strengthening our Hearts and Minds

There are a number of opportunities to gather with other disciples in prayer around scripture in the coming weeks. Please take advantage of one or more of these opportunities to strengthen your relationship with Jesus. Call the office to register (973) 667-0256. Bring your friends.

Sunday lunch study (Jan. 13 and on): Theology of the cross.
It is one of the most distinctive themes and contributions of Lutheran theology. The theology of the cross refers not just to the events of Good Friday. It also refers to a cross-centered approach to talking about God that stands in opposition to a “theology of glory” that is focused on the power and majesty of God apart from God’s action in history. We will meet Sundays after worship starting January 13.

Please call the office to order copies of the books, at (973) 667-0256.

Thursdays in Lent (Feb. 14 and on): Prayer Empowers Discipleship
A pattern for prayer and discipleship throughout Lent. Guiding our discussion and giving us a means of practicing prayer will be the book Forty Days to Closer Walk with God: The Practice of Centering Prayer, by David J. Muyskens. Please call the office to sign up, at (973) 667-0256.

Tuesday Night @ 8 p.m.: Reading the Gospel of Matthew
We will get together to read the entire Gospel of Matthew and
then discuss each Sunday’s Gospel lesson.
