Please Join Us in Bible Study

Throughout this week, we will be bringing our group together each day in bible study and reflection. This evening, we started the book that we will be working from all week,  Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.  Our study this evening was on the chapter about "Community". Our community in Christ, through Christ, united in Christ for eternity is a precious gift. We do not want to take it for granted--as all are not able to gather with others as we do. We also know that in Christ we are all here for each other--to support one another in good times and in bad with Christ as our cornerstone. We are empowered to be the people God created us to be, bold in our proclamation of our faith. 

As we look forward to traveling to the Reservation tomorrow, we are reminded through scripture, that although from different cultures, we are One in Jesus.  Our scripture this evening was from Ephesians 2:17-22: Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
