Hello friends!
This Sunday Dave will continue discussing
Matthew 5:43-48. This week, we finish the
first chapter of the Sermon on the Mount. In
this passage, Jesus teaches his most
revolutionary teaching yet, "love your
enemies". Please join us this Sunday as we
unfold what this means for us today.
The Studio
Team is starting a photo bin that
we want any and all photographers to
contribute towards so we can use them
possibly as part of our Sacred Space. We will
receive all only as a jpeg sent to
Emiko Hall
where they will be
stored for the time being as we try to get
things rolling.
So people! Start thinking through the rest of
the book of Matthew for ideas or inspiration.
If you don't know where to start, try looking
at some of your older work and submit that.
It can be anything from a snapshot to
something totally abstract! You never know
how it might be used!
Within the right ledger, you will find
sources to
great books, blogs, articles, and more on the
right-
hand side of the newsletter. Plus, If you
would like to
know how to get involved or what ways you can
pray
for our body, please read on...

| Hermeneutics Study - Starts April 5th |
|
|
Gatherings will begin on Saturday, April 5th
@ 7:00pm and run every other week until July
26th. That gives us 9 gatherings total, but I
would hope to try and cut that down to 8.
If you are still interested, you can email me
(troy-at-ethnoschurch-dot-org) and I will
send you the Study outline and let you know
what materials you will want to get a hold of
before we begin.
This is going to be a fun class and a great
introduction into how to read Scripture with
an eye for the spiritual truths contained
within that ought to motivate us toward
greater love and greater service.
More details on the
forum.
