MAKING PRAYER PERSONAL

Wednesday, May 4, at 6:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary One size prayer does not fit all. Kathi Bradley, a Spiritual Director and a licensed professional counselor will be with us to lead us in a time of experiencing different ways to pray. No one who attends will be asked to pray out loud. It is our desire that each participant will connect with God in whatever way of prayer brings forth intimacy with him. This prayer time will transition to a National Day of Prayer at 7:00 p.m. for our world, the people in Ukraine, our country, state, and church. Each person will be given a prayer card with prayer concerns to pray individually. Let’s come together as a church to unite our hearts in praying the name of Jesus. For more information, please contact Rev. Ed Briggs.

EXPLORING PAUL’S PRISON LETTERS

A Study of Philippians and 2 Timothy

Wednesday, 6:30 - 7:45 p.m. in Fellowship Hall & Online Led by Art Wilmarth

MAY 18 - JUNE 15

Join us for a five-week study of Paul’s letter to the Philippians and Paul’s second letter to Timothy. Paul probably wrote Philippians around 61 A.D., at the beginning of his first imprisonment in Rome (see Acts 28:16-30).

Philippians has been called the “Epistle of Joy,” as Paul included the words “joy” and “rejoice” more than a dozen times in the letter. Paul wrote his second letter to Timothy near the end of his life (around 67 A.D.), at a time when he was evidently imprisoned in Rome for a second time under much harsher conditions. Paul knew that he was facing imminent death, and his second letter to Timothy provides an inspiring testament to his transcendent faith and enduring witness in the most difficult of circumstances.
