Sacred Story: Yours, Mine, Ours
Women of the Bible,
imperfect and yet loved by God, inspire us to embrace one another across what
may seem to be deep divisions. Hearing the Sacred Story of Biblical women
encourages our faith work. When we identify God’s love in the lives of ancient
women, we are freed to share where our Sacred Stories of brokenness and of
healing are also held in God’s love. Sharing seemingly dissimilar Sacred
Stories helps us find common, holy ground in the ongoing saga of God’s dream of
Beloved Community. Accepting our Sacred Story allow us to be vulnerable and
open to hearing and sharing in other’s journeys and their yearnings for God’s
redemption, hope, and love.
Use this resource in a group to start conversations, or as an individual to deepen your understanding of God's call on your life. Thought provoking questions are included in each chapter
The Lord's Prayer: Walk in Love
A basic part of all Christian life is the Lord’s Prayer. We recite it at nearly every worship service. Many of us learned it as children and return to it whenever we need comfort. Come on a journey that will inspire you to look at the words of this prayer in a new way.
Learn how this life changing and life empowering prayer calls us to be part of God’s love. Be inspired to live more fully as a participant in God’s dream of a Beloved Community.
Inspiration from alternate translations of the Lord’s Prayer and the Way of Love by The Most Reverend Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, help unlock new dimensions in this familiar prayer. Questions and a closing prayer exercise for each chapter encourage new action with a heart and mind open to God’s work in all creation.
