Adult Prayer and Reflection

Welcome! Pentecost calls us to realize our own discipleship in light of the community of faith-the Church. Our readings bring the experience of the early church when those locked in an isolated place in fear were given the courage of the Holy Spirit as Jesus himself had promised. The video by Rob Bell "Breathe" is an all time favorite but looking at it during this time of Pandemic may bring new insights. The Agape Latte video tells the experiences of Brian Robinette in a time of his own transitions in "When Life Gets Messy". We hope you can join us for our  small group ZOOM gathering.

Welcome! God's Compassionate Love Readings and Reflection resources for Sunday May 17, 2020 God's Compassionate Love is our theme for this week. The resources for this week use the theme of family. But not in the way we are used to hearing about this in the church. Fr. Michael Himes provides his wonderful storytelling style as he breaks open family as a metaphor for God's love. Fr. Ronald Rolheiser helps make the connections between God's compassion and the Holy Spirit. Below are several videos and articles that can be used for additional reflection on this week's Scripture Readings. We hope you will join us in our online small groups.
