E-News 1.12.17

Devotion. That’s a strong word. It speaks of love and loyalty. I instantly think of Olympic athletes or die-hard fitness nuts. It’s a word that speaks of love and loyalty. To what are you devoted? Loving your family? Excellence in your profession? Here’s a question: to what would you say our church is devoted? This week we’ll observe the very first church and see it’s first descriptor is “they devoted themselves to the apostle’s teaching.” (Acts 2:42). Come this week as we unpack this priority in both our lives and the life of our church.

Centering prayer is a spiritual practice that cultivates contemplation with God. Martin Laird describes contemplation this way, “Communion with God in the silence of the heart is a God given capacity, like the rhododendron's capacity to flower, the fledgling's for flight, and the child's for self forgetful abandon and joy."

Please join us as we attempt and encourage one another in developing interior silence by practicing Centering Prayer, Thursday's in the TCBC prayer room 12-1.  Our time will be spent in 20 min of silence with God and one another, reading Martin Lairds book, "Into the Silent Land" and 10 min of intercessory prayer.  Feel free to just come when you are able. 

Contact Jenni Swink Jjswink@att.net or Stephen Couch with any questions.
