Wrap Up
Hi everyone, here is a brief rundown of last week and look ahead to next week.
This week Kendall brought it with his "me bag". Look for Lee to bring it on August 21st.
We also continued in our study of how we pray. We looked at another practice of prayer, Prayer of Examen. This is a practice that involves praying while contemplating and meditating on an event or period of time.
We discussed some ideas for scaffolded, incremental study this fall and it seemed that the consensus was to look at a book together. Please submit suggestions and we can narrow it down over the next few weeks. The ones I heard people talking about were:
I would suggest:
Next week is National Night Out. We will not meet and you are encouraged to seek out your local block party and get to know your neighbors.
On August 14th, the week after next, we will be heading over to the ID to help with Operation Nightwatch. We will meet at Kendall and Mollies and head out from there.
The following week will be meeting as usual.
We had discussed attending a Mariners game, and the dates were August 28th(Angels), September 11th(A's) and 25th(Indians).
I have been in touch with the other CG that meets on Capitol Hill and we are thinking maybe Wed Sept 5th for a little social night, how does that sound to everyone?
See you next week.
