There is a Place for You in a Small Group

Small Group Study: Serendipity

Leader: Steve Prentice

Study Title: Liturgy of the Ordinary: "Sacred Practices in Everyday Life”

Date: Sunday, July 13

Time & Location: Sundays at 9:30 am in Room 21 downstairs

Description of Study: In the overlooked moments and routines of our day, we can become aware of God's presence in surprising ways. How do we embrace the sacred in the ordinary and the ordinary in the sacred? Framed around one ordinary day, this book explores daily life through the lens of liturgy, small practices, and habits that form us. Each chapter looks at something—making the bed, brushing her teeth, losing her keys—that the author does every day. Each activity is related to a spiritual practice as well as an aspect of our Sunday worship. Come and discover the holiness of your every day.

If you would like to connect with this group or learn more about their current study, or any other small group, please visit the Welcome Center or contact Martha Benn.

Pie Party dates: June 21 from 9 am - 1 pm, July 26 from 9 am - 1 pm, and August 17 from 1 pm - 4 pm.
