Our home groups will be starting the week of September 22nd with a focus on the book, "Practicing the Way," by John Mark Comer. Pick up your copy for $14 at the church office or on a Sunday morning. Excerpt from an online book seller:
"John Mark calls us to rediscover the path that leads to a deeper life with God. We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice. To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.
This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life. These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus.
We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did."
