A Welcoming Church Family Exploring Progressive Christian Theology

Faith Formation

October 28, 2015 by Pastor Nathan

Greetings!

Can you believe Daylight Savings Time is here already? Get ready to fall back this weekend.

In Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, we see his hope for our faith.

2 Corinthians 10:15–16 (CEB)
We don’t take pride in what other people do outside of our boundaries. We hope that our work will be extended even more by you as your faith grows, until it expands fully (within the boundaries, of course). We hope that our work grows even to the point of the gospel being preached in places beyond Corinth, without bragging about what has already been done in another person’s work area.

Tonight, we gather for our second potluck of the year. We’ll be talking about Faith Formation. I’ll have another presentation and some more talking about different ways churches help people to grow in faith, and then we can talk in small groups. Potluck starts at 5:30. Bring a pie! Any kind will do! Or just eat some. We’ll have some activities for the kids, too. Come and join us as we continue our imagining journey and figure out what it would mean to grow in faith.

This Sunday is All Saints Day. We’ll turn the paraments to white and remember all those we have lost in the past year. If you have a name you’d like remembered, just send an email to me at [email protected] .

Blessings,
Nathan
