"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them.”
Matthew 18:20
Meeting twice a month for worship service, while highly beneficial for our spiritual growth, doesn't always sustain us. The Lord advised us to pray, "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11). Many of us seek a deeper connection with members of our community, so that we can share one another's burdens and learn from each other. With that in mind, we have formed discussion groups that meet twice a month and small groups focused on specific themes throughout the year.
This fall, we will be examining the Lord's words in Matthew 25. From September through November 2026, our sermons will focus not only on how to feed the hungry or clothe the naked on a literal/phyiscal level, but also what these states mean on a deeper level for each one of us. These lessons will also be the basis for our second and fourth Sunday discussion groups.
We will pause for the holiday season (Christmas), and then begin a new theme in the new year: Divine Providence. From January through June 2027, our worship services and discussion groups will center on the tenets of the Lord's providence in our lives, as described by Emanuel Swedenborg in his work, Angelic Wisdom on Divine Providence.
