Getting Started

I have started this blog to give us another format for sharing our experiences--many thanks to Yakelin for the name.

Here is the invitation that was given at church:

What
To join with others at SCC in a journey of prayer and Bible study to deepen our spiritual lives and strengthen our community.

What would I be doing?

-Pick a book of the Bible. I suggest you start with a gospel, but if you really want to start somewhere else please do so.
-Read large enough portions to finish that book in a week or two weeks at the most. When you finish it read it again. Before moving on read it a few time, ideally in more than one translation. When you are ready, pick another book of the Bible and repeat.
-Pick another resource that focuses on some situation in which we are called to live out our faith. This is wide open. It can be a book, a blog, a justice issue, a faith issue, current events, anything. The purpose of this resource is to help us keep a focus on how we are to apply what we are reading in the Bible in our lives.
-Use this as a foundation for your prayers.
-Some may find it valuable to keep a journal. Take opportunities to share your experience with others.

If someone outside of our church group stops by and wants to join in please do. You are most welcome here.

Lets see how this will work for us.
