“Speaking Truth to Power: What Would Bonhoeffer Do?”

Third session Zoom link HERE

Is this a Bonhoeffer moment in America? What can Dietrich Bonhoeffer, German pastor and martyr, teach us about God’s call to be courageous disciples during difficult times? We’ll explore how we are called to be tellers of the truth as well as messengers of healing and hope.

Poem

Holy One, I am tired.

Tired of the incessant chatter of bad news.

Tired of asking over and again, "is this real?"

Tired of wondering who will be next.

Tired of seeing families in fear.

Tired of gross lies dressed up as truth.

Tired of being angry at injustice.

Tired of the feeling helplessness.

Holy One, calm my fears,

soothe my hurt, renew my strength,

then send me to do the work of setting the world on fire with your Love.

Amen

by Episcopal Bishop Deon K. Johnson

Free Live Project Retreat

9am Saturday, April 5 at Our Savior's Lutheran Church

Hope, active in love, provokes us to join in God’s work of healing creation. Grounded in the image of the Tree of Life in Revelation, Biblical scholar Rev. Dr. Barbara Rossing will explore how God’s creation prompts us into action and calls the church into a more expansive identity. Rev. Erik Kindem and members of the Peace Lutheran Creation Care Team will explore ways to connect the dots between our worship life and the natural world, as well as offer practical actions for daily life.

It’s free with the bundle code: LIVEBUNDLE2024.
