Tables and chairs will be available for an extra $10. The money raised from selling vendor spaces will go to the Southwest North Carolina Food Bank.

Emily Viverette and Michael Wildman will be leading a lectionary-based Bible studyimg_1546 through May 27 during the Sunday School hour. During these sessions, they will introduce a resource called BibleWorkbench. The key focus of the resource is assisting people to “see biblically”, that is, recognizing the dynamics of the Bible story at work in the world around us and deep in our own souls. Each week BibleWorkbench asks: What is happening in this story? Where is this story taking place in our world? How is this MY story?

All are welcome! The class will meet in the Friendship Classroom.

2012 Lenten Series

“Into the Depths: Deepening our Spiritual Lives”

The season of Lent, a time when we prepare for Jesus’ journey into Jerusalem and to the cross, offers us a chance for self-reflection and growth, a chance to think deeply about how we can grow closer to God, a chance to incorporate in our daily lives reminders of God’s presence, gifts and calling of us.  Spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, and reading scripture offer concrete ways of quieting our minds so that we may listen more closely for God’s voice.  Sometimes we may not know where or how to begin with these practices or we may find it difficult to do them on our own.

For the six weeks of Lent, I will be leading an evening series that will offer the chance to experience different types of spiritual practices.  Each session will last an hour and will include a brief devotional, some history about that week’s practice, instruction in the practice, the chance to practice together and some time to reflect on our experience.  If you are interested in exploring prayer, meditation or spiritual reading and the ways in which these practices can deepen your spiritual life, I invite you to join us on Monday evenings at 7:00 pm beginning on Monday, February 27th.  Why not invite a friend to come along?

In order to offer this class, I need at least five people to commit to attending four out of six sessions, so please let me know if you are interested or if you have questions (thandiwe@fccgreensboro.org).

As always, our profits are used to provide for the CMF benevolent projects. If you would like to see how past profits have been spent, just ask!

All men of the Church will be receiving at least 10 tickets for sale. The Church office also has some extra tickets.
