Mission u is coming very soon on July 21 – 23, and our attendance at this time is very low. Only fifteen people have registered. (as of June 20th)
Our study leaders have worked very hard preparing to teach you our mission study,
WHO CAN WE BE TOGETHER?: A BIBLICAL EXPLORATION OF LUKE 13 by Candace Simpson.
This study is relevant to all of us as we see in the following quotations:
“We find ourselves in a period of incredible disruption and uncertainty. In the midst of a devastating pandemic, a divisive political climate, and economic turmoil, we are turning to stories of Jesus that have anchored Christian communities in challenging times for over two millennia. Some of these stories of Jesus are found in the 13th chapter of the Gospel of Luke. The chapter opens and closes with a community trying to make sense of and navigate their way through times of turmoil and tragedy.”
At the end of this study, our hope is that participants will leave with a bigger and broader vision of the kind of community Christ is calling us to be in times of loss, grief, and massive disruption. What would be possible if we tend to the needs of our communities in small and often disruptive ways as Jesus did in Luke 13? May we do so with the faith that a multitude of small actions, like seeds, can activate a community’s healing and renewal.
This is an URGENT plea to all of you to share this information with your church members, your friends, and anyone you think will benefit from participating in the study.
We certainly want to have a successful event. Please register online at www.nccumw.org.
