The Spiritual World of Nature June 27 at Christ Church, WFB
This intergenerational program is designed to use the beauty and complexity of the natural world to illustrate the teachings of the Christian Faith. Moreover every natural object has spiritual lessons hidden in its essence. Undoubtedly nature itself is an expression of God's will. Audubon Education Director Don Quintenz, an expert on nature, will lead us through the beautiful outdoor setting of our services where he will point out some of the many examples of spiritual lessons that are waiting to be gleaned from nature. Don's program will follow the 9:15 Garden Service on June 27th .

Red Door Clothes: Clothing and Caring for God's People
Red Door Clothes, a clothing ministry of St. James', Milwaukee and Trinity, Wauwatosa, is moving into summer time and seasonal clothing. Shorts and short-sleeve tops are welcome. But, as always, the biggest demand is for jeans (new, clean-used) in all sizes for men and women. Men's shoes are always in short supply, too. And if you have men's winter coats, we can put those into storage for next year. Most of our guests are men, but women and children are also visiting us regularly twice a month. If you can help with any of these or for more information, call Gust Olson (414-271-1340) or Jane Johnson (262-786-7737).

Here is the ideal opportunity to deepen your personal faith and discern your path for living out that faith in the world. The Community of Hope program creates a Christian community of lay volunteer pastoral care givers who are shaped by Benedictine spirituality, united in prayer, and equipped for and serving in pastoral care ministries. Participants explore God's call in our lives through a 12-week training class where we practice a "rule of life" through silence and Christian meditation and learn about pastoral care practices such as listening skills, confidentiality, discovering who you are, coping with grief and loss, and more.
The second Madison-area Community of Hope will run on Mondays, September 13 through December 13 from 6:15-8:15 p.m. at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, located at 4011 Major Avenue off Monona Drive. Applications are available now; the modest registration fee is $100. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact Diane Brown (diane@floods.org or 608-444-6707) or Karla Temple (kjtemple@sbcglobal.net or 513-8197). |
