The Conversation
9am – 9:45am Sunday morning greetings and open-ended conversations about faith and life. It’s in the library, where we have a very nice hybrid setup – so join us in person or on zoom
Easter Season 2025: Living Faith
During hard times, faith can be our strength.
Martin Luther said “one who has even a small taste of faith can never write, speak, reflect, or hear enough about it. As Christ says in John 4, it is a ‘spring of water welling up to eternal life.’” (from Freedom of a Christian)
But we can’t make ourselves believe. Only God can make the spring of water flow. What’s it like when God awakens faith in our lives? At 9am Sundays during Easter season, we’ll share conversation around the experience of faith as finding God, conversion, eternal life, new vision, encounter, belonging and hope.
We can share our personal experiences, struggles and longings. For each of the first four Sundays, we’ll also read one of the biblical texts that will be heard in worship that same day.
For the final three Sundays we’ll read the entire (short) Old Testament book of Ruth, which has to do with travel in a foreign land and so fits our overall theme for Easter.
Tentative Schedule:
On April 13 we’ll be finishing our series on the Easter Vigil readings, and on April 20 sharing Easter breakfast. On April 27, the Conversation resumes.
April 27: Finding God (John 20:28), “Doubting Thomas” and what it means to believe.
May 4: Conversion (Acts 9). From Saul to Paul. Will we change?
May 11: Eternal Life (John 10:28). A gift for the future? For today?
May 18: New Vision (Acts 11:5-10). Can we see things differently?
May 25-June 8: Encounter, Belonging, Hope. We’ll read the (Old Testament) Book of Ruth together.
