Spring Book Discussion Group
As we journey through Lent and into Easter, you’re invited to read and reflect on our spring book group pick: Receiving Jesus – The Way of Love by Mariann Edgar Budde. Here’s a brief synopsis:
So often we think of the Christian faith as an obligation or as a set of beliefs that we must hold. With this outlook, we can lose sight of what is most important: the invitation to experience a loving, personal relationship with God. It’s a relationship we can trust, where we can find refuge and solid ground upon which to stand.
The Way of Love set forth by the Episcopal Church’s Presiding Bishop Michael Bruce Curry is the journey of a lifetime. It’s a way of knowing God, receiving and sharing Jesus’ love, and being a blessing to the world. Mariann Edgar Budde shares her thoughts on how the reader can come to know–to receive–Jesus more deeply in practicing the Way of Love. Through the seven practices that have been put before us: to turn, to learn, to pray and to worship, to bless, to go, and to rest, she will share biblical stories, wisdom from the Christian tradition, and her own personal stories of spiritual growth.
We will gather on Tuesday, April 25 at the Mt. Airy Tavern for discussion and dessert. Sign-ups will be in the narthex and online.
