“Living in Grace & Gratitude”
Bethlehem’s Stewardship Focus 2017
Everything we have is the gift of a generous God that comes to us as lavish grace birthing within us a sense of gratitude. Our stewardship theme this year is “Living in Grace & Gratitude,” and for the next several weeks we at Bethlehem will explore together how we can more faithfully practice noticing God at work in our daily lives.
As a foundation, we will use Barbara Brown Taylor’s book, “An Altar in the World.” Each week we will offer: devotions based upon that week’s theme, small group opportunities, which invites us to reflect further on that theme, and then each Sunday, we will offer a sermon based upon that week’s chapter. The themes/dates are as follows:
Oct 7/8 The Practice of Paying Attention
When was the last time you stopped and noticed something in your daily life as beautiful or unusual and therefore holy?
Oct 14/15 The Practice of Waking Up to God
When God encounters us in our ordinary lives, right in the middle of a place we had never though as particularly ‘holy’, we can keep on going and ignore it, or we can set down an altar?
Oct 21/22 The Practice of Being Present to God
Is there a right way to pray? What are your ‘alternative’ prayer practices? And what makes them prayer-like for you? Taylor writes in her book, “To say I love God, but I do not pray much, is like saying I love life but I do not breathe much!”
Nov 4/5 The Practice of Pronouncing Blessing
To pronounce a blessing on something is to see it from the divine perspective. To meet someone with a blessing on your lips is quite different than many of our daily interactions. But it may open us up to some unexpected altars!
Nov 11/12 Re-commitment Weekend
We will celebrate together the many ways God has been at work in our lives! This weekend, we will take time to present our estimates of giving at all worship services.
Copies of “An Altar in the World” are available for purchase. Please contact Heather Feltman at Heather@bethlehemluth.org to order a copy.
