Finding the Way of Jesus

So..... part of this quest to create soil, in the spiritual sense, has left my husband and I wondering, "How?" Traditional church hasn't worked for us for many years. We're good with Jesus, just not all the extra layers that have been added to him over the centuries. So, we decided to figure out what it would look like to strip away all the church culture (this has been a looong process) and actually do what Jesus modeled or did in our own lives, present time and in our Central Oregon culture. If you'd like to be a part of that process.....read further.

This is an Invitation to join us in:

Finding the way of Jesus:
A four week discussion/action group that digs deep into the commands and model of Jesus and challenges us to incorporate those into our daily lives.

Schedule:

Thursday, May 15th, 6:30-8pm
Thursday, May 22nd, 6:30-8pm

Thursday, May 29th, 6:30-8pm Thursday, June 5th, 6-8pm (potluck dinner)

Weekly Schedule:

6:30 say hi, gather, recap/intro

7:00 scripture reading/activity

7:30 set weekly goals, hugs & goodbyes

This is designed for you if you are an individual, couple, or family that wants to:
· study the life of Jesus
· put the ways of Jesus into action
· gain the support and encouragement of a community of believers as you put into action the way of Jesus

At the end of this Discussion, we hope that participants will:
· Have identified core values that Jesus modeled
· Have put Jesus’ words into a daily visible action.
· Have practiced a daily visible action on their own, with a friend, and with the larger community.

Nitty Gritty:
Come committed to the whole 4 week schedule. “Homework” or weekly reading will be expected. This is a participatory group….no sermons, or grand ideas. You will get out of it with direct correlation to what you put in to it.

We would love for the kiddos to be involved in this spiritual formation. Children are encouraged to participate with their parents in the discussion and action goals. Kiddos should be able to track with the group for 30-45 minutes. If kids are not ready for that commitment please find child care for them.
