Hello world!
As we enter a new program year at Christ Church we are engaging with numerous ideas, people, and programs. Just this past weekend a number of folk attended a women’s retreat at the Convent of the Transfiguration in Cincinnati. Dr. Larry Welborn has delivered three of his six lectures on the subject of financial crises in the mid-first century in Corinth and the Christian response. (You can listen to the lectures on our website under “Formation/Adults”.) On Tuesdays, we have two courses: “Pharaoh’s Production/Consumption Society” with DVD presentations by Walter Brueggeman and a book discussion on An Altar in the World by Barbara Brown Taylor. Sermons, coffee hour conversations, life situations along with contemporary issues also present us with questions, insights, and revelations.
Perhaps you would like a place to discuss what you are thinking. Maybe you have questions. This is a Community Forum for Christ Church. All comments will be posted with the usual cautions that appropriate language and respect for the dignity of every human being will be observed.
This is your online forum, and I hope that you will use it as a place to share what you are thinking, praying, meditating about.
The Rev. John Paddock, Rector
Hello everyone! This is Emily Sexton. What a wonderful idea to create a blog for our church! Hopefully this will continue to grow, and will be a great way for us to share together! I just want to give a little update on some happenings with the youth group. We had a wonderful first meeting a couple weeks ago, and look forward to another great meeting this month! Last Sunday we participated in Legs In Motion, and had a lot of fun riding bikes, and walking together. Also, props to Art Paul and Jane who have been leading Y.O.D.A.H ( Youth of Dayton Are Here) which is a youth/young adult Bible study. It has been successful these last two weeks, and I look forward to the future of the group! Hope everyone’s having a great week!
Peace & Love,
Emily Sexton
Thanks for the news, Emily. It is good to hear about YODAH, Legs in Motion, and (most of all) your enthusiasm. Please continue to keep us informed and to encourage us all.
Peace and Love to you!
