January Library News...

For the month of January we would like to recommend that you commit to reading a daily devotional for the new year. We have many in the church library to choose from. There are two that I want to mention to you. The first is, Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young. Young writes as if she is Jesus speaking to you in a personal way to challenge you spiritually. The second is, In Touch, by Tyndale House Publishers. In this devotional, various scriptures are taken from the Living Bible for each day in a paraphrase that make the Bible more easily understood for children and young adults. Please contact Arlan Rolfsen if you have any questions or would like more information on anything library related!

Hi Everyone! It is good to be back in the At Home Sunday School rhythm again. The book I will be taking inspiration from is called We Call Ourselves Disciples from the Chalice Press and can be ordered online through them. It was edited by Kamilah Hall Sharp and Joel Brown. I hope that you will consider journaling or discussing the lessons each week to help you reflect on, explore, and grow your own faith. I will introduce you to the book by sharing the paragraph on the back of the book. 

“Feeling called to follow Christ in a complex, fragmented world? We Call Ourselves Disciples is your guide to living your faith within our tradition. Written by Disciples pastors and scholars, this book explores our diverse history, theology, worship, social justice, mission, unity, polity, and more. Understand our diverse views and pursuit of unity and wholeness. Find your place in our shared journey and embrace your calling.” 

I hope that a deeper look at our denomination and its unique diversity will inspire you to participate more fully in the church and its ongoing mission in the world. See you online each week as we delve into this book for the next few months. Amy
