All are welcome to a service of Evening Prayer each Tuesday evening.
Each Tuesday during Lent, all are invited to join in 20-30 minutes of prayer for the needs of the world, our community, and ourselves. We meet on Zoom at 8pm, directly after Evening Prayer (7.30pm).
This is our main service each Sunday. Normally a traditional Eucharist with sermon. Always a warm welcome. Sunday School once a month.
Our book for March is 'How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger and the Work of Peace’ by Melissa Florer-Bixler.
All are welcome to join in an hour's discussion on Zoom, no matter how much of the book you have read.
Jesus called us to love our enemies. But to befriend an enemy, we first have to acknowledge their existence, understand who they are, and recognize the ways they are acting in opposition to God’s good news. In 'How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger and the Work of Peace', Melissa Florer-Bixler looks closely at what the Bible says about enemies—who they are, what they do, and how Jesus and his followers responded to them. The result is a theology that allows us to name our enemies as a form of truth-telling about ourselves, our communities, and the histories in which our lives are embedded. Only then can we grapple with the power of the acts of destruction carried out by our enemies, and invite them to lay down their enmity, opening a path for healing, reconciliation, and unity.
Jesus named and confronted his enemies as an essential part to loving them. In this provocative book, Florer-Bixler calls us to do the same.
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry group meets again in Hürtgenwald on Saturday 21 March from 10am to 4pm.
This powerful ecumenical ministry and spiritual practice reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace, as well as in celebration and joy.
Prayer shawl ministry groups can be found all over the world. They knit or crochet shawls to console those who are grieving, comfort those who are ill, and bring hope to those in despair. Shawls may also be made to celebrate life and its milestones.
Many blessings are prayed into every stitch.
Please pray for our knitters and their work, and the people who will receive the gifts of this ministry of compassion.
