Sunday Forum, 8:30 a.m.
"Uncommon Gratitude: Alleluia for All That Is"
Sunday Forum is one of St. Mary's Christian formation offerings for adults. This group meets on Sundays from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. in the Guild Room. We gather as fellow explorers of our Christian faith, deepening our relationships with each other and with God. We reflect, question, share, learn and laugh together in an open, comfortable, accepting and friendly environment.
We will kick off the fall season reading and discussing the book, Uncommon Gratitude: Alleluia for All That Is, by Joan Chittister, Benedic-tine sister and leading international spiritual voice, and Rowan Williams, poet and former Archbishop of Canterbury. Describing the book, Brother David Steindl-Rast, OSB, author, lecturer and co-founder of www.gratefulness.org., writes: “In Uncommon Gratitude two fascinating story-tellers tackle the head-on question, ‘What is life all about?’ From the 2004 Tsunami to the Seven Deadly Sins, and from world-shaking events to daily haps and mishaps. When, how, and why can we shout ‘Alleluia!’—become Alleluia—in the midst of it all, in spite of it all? Before I put this page-turner down, I had wept and smiled and shouted ‘Alleluia!’ in my heart in deep gratitude for this uncommon book. Book circles and study groups will find it particularly useful.”
Come join us on Sundays at 8:30 a.m. in the Guild Room. Contact Andrea Burr for additional information
Spiritual Formation Group, Wednesdays at 11:00 a.m.
Explore The Gospel of Luke: Good News for All
Luke's Gospel is uniquely inclusive, involving all peoples. The Good News is for the outcast and the establishment, for the religous and those searching. Luke speaks to women, to men, to the strong and healthy, to the weak and dispossessed. Its relevance today inspries faith, spirituality and action. Gather with others on Wednesdays, from 11 a.m. to noon in the Williams Building Conference Room to explore this Gospel.
