APRIL 7 & 13 : Receiving What Is
We practice receiving our belonging by being simply human, we abide with Christ by being with each other, we cultivate availability by being here, now, and we practice being free by resting.
APRIL 21 & 28: Receiving What’s Difficult
We practice receiving what's difficult in our lives by repenting, or being found, and by praying or being honest with God. We are rooted in God's love when we narrate our experiences, and by being empty, we surrender, and God meets us there with mercy and grace.
MAY 5 & 8: Receiving What God Is Doing
We practice receiving what God is doing right now in our lives and in the world by participating, or being what God is doing, by noticing, or attuning to what God is doing and by blessing, or celebrating what God is doing.
MAY19 PENTECOST & MAY 25: Receiving What God Has Already Done
We receive what God has already done when we welcome God's judgment that releases condemnation, when we welcome God's freedom by releasing our egos,, and when we practice forgiving, or letting go.
JUNE 2 & 9: Receiving What Will Be
We practicing receiving God's future by waiting, or living in anticipation, by living without fear in the human act dying which we are all engaged in, by living out hope in the "even if"promises of God, and by using our imaginations to live now what what will be.
Pastor Kara's book could be an optional read-along to supplement our worship journey with devotions, prayers and prayer practices that come from LNPC's life together.
There are copies of Kara's book in the church library.
