CONFIRMED!
(not conformed!)
a new idea for high school folk at Grace
Join.
Bill Harper.
Kathie McCarthy.
Ann Strickland.
And People Like You.
In a search
for all
we believe.
Or something for you to believe.
Beginning this Fall.
At Grace.
What will we do?
We will be curious together about things that are real and true.
We will learn what people believe--us, you, them.
We will ask ourselves to wonder, to think, to decide.
We will deepen and change what we believe.
We will make some music and art from what we believe.
We will discover how to be public about those beliefs.
These questions will guide us . . .
Fall 2010 - Will I keep wonder alive?
(What keeps us awake to God All Around us?)
Winter 2011 - Will I love well?
(What helps us love people and God Beside us?)
Spring 2011 - Will I live fully?
(What lets us live fully and lets God Within us help.)
What do I have to do?
We ask:
that you have questions that you will ask of each other and of us.
We ask:
that you seek answers--from within yourself and beyond.
We ask:
that you question your answers, and support others as they ask.
We ask:
that you commit fully to participating in each Sunday evening gathering (12), spread over the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons.
We want:
the group to grow together in trust and intimacy.
We want:
to be able to connect and interconnect.
And, when the Seasons are done, those who choose to can be formally confirmed in a rich ceremony with our Bishop.
Want to know more?
Please come to an evening of questions and answers on Sunday, October 3rd @ 7 pm. Pizza and Green Things provided--along with some taste and experience of the program.
We want and welcome kids and parents that evening, and any who are just plain curious.
Yes.
This is
New.
We will ask for a working commitment from students and families. We will ask for participation in 12 Sunday evening gatherings.
We will set a clear calendar when we know how much interest there is--working as best we can to match school and vacation schedules.
Please let Bill or Kathie know if you' ll be joining us on October 3rd and/or for the series:
Bill@GraceHere.org; or healingworks@kathiemccarthy.com
