A year ago, during Lent, we gathered as a congregation in small groups. We talked together and prayed together about our faith, our prayers, and our call to service, using Gay Reese’s book Unbinding Your Heart (Chalice Press, 2008). A year later, we will again be gathering in groups to talk about our faith, our prayers, and our call to share our faith with others, and again we will use a book by Gay Reese, this time a book entitled Unbinding Your Soul (Chalice Press, 2009). Starting with a Sunday afternoon group on February 28th, the series of meetings will last four weeks. More information about signing up for these groups can be found elsewhere in this newsletter.
