Join us after worship Sunday, April 2 in the library for an informational session on the April 2024 group trip to Pendle Hill and the Lake District of the UK. 

Tuesday, April 4, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m

Facilitator Jim Newby

  The Passion Narratives can be defined as the various ways that the Gospel writers chose to write about Jesus’ last week in Jerusalem. The Gospels in the New or Christian Testament of the Bible have been called, “Passion narratives with long introductions.” The scholar who came up with this phrase meant that these books are largely about the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Everything else in Jesus’ life, his public ministry, is a preliminary to these key events. On the evening of Tuesday, April 4, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., and during what has traditionally been called, "Holy Week"; Jim Newby will be teaching a one night class on, "The Passion Narratives''; "How are the Gospel accounts of Jesus' last week similar?Dissimilar?,", "Who really killed Jesus?", and &"What do you believe about the Resurrection"; are just some of the questions that we will ponder. Please call the office to register. All are welcome! 

Have some fun cooking in community and learn about a new spiritual nurture group as well as the work of the “We Care” effort, Saturday, April 22, 1 p.m., at the Meetinghouse.

Make four freezable servings each of chicken enchiladas (vegetarian and gluten-free options), meaty chili (vegetarian option) and scratch black-bean brownies (gluten free). CFM Attender Karen Rahe, CFM Member Vicki Culler and Nurturer for Spiritual Growth & Outreach Cathy Barney will walk fellow cooks through preparing each dish. Small groups will complete a recipe, then rotate to the next dish.

$30 covers the cost to prepare four servings of each dish and containers, payable by cash or check (to Cathy Barney/cooking) at sign-up in the Meetinghouse. Deadline to signup and pay is April 15. Feel free to pay it forward for others and pay/prepare extra meals for “We Care,” which supports those in need in our faith community with visits, calls, notes and meals.

Come prepared to have fun, engage in fellowship, cook, learn, stock your freezer and replicate the meal with a recipe and first-hand experience.

The concept of GRACE, a spiritual nurture group that is forming and focused on the spiritual aspects of aging as well as other concerns, will be introduced.
