Prayer Walk!

[Tony] Ryan and I have recently started incorporating prayer walks into our lives. We have gone on a handful of walks together so far and would like to have others join us. The idea of infiltrating the neighborhood with a body of people in prayer is a powerful and beautiful image of the Kingdom. We are planning a prayer walk on Monday night, Dec. 1st, at 8:30. We will meet at the house and then set out for the streets in prayer. Please join us! A prayer walk allows you to interact with God while also interacting with the world you are praying for. If you have never done a prayer walk before, I encourage and challenge you to try it. We will pray for our neighbors, for each other, and for anything and everything that may be on our hearts. Bring warm clothes and open hearts!

Fraternity

[James] Words from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together

"I have community with others and I shall continue to have it only through Jesus Christ. The more genuine and the deeper our community becomes, the more will everything else between us recede, the more clearly and purely will Jesus Christ and his work become the one and only thing that is vital between us. We have one another only through Christ, but through Christ we have one another, wholly, and for all eternity."
