WEDNESDAY EVENING STUDY
"The Wesley Prayer Challenge:
21 Days to a Closer Walk with Christ"

A 3-week study beginning January19 
Wednesdays at 7 PM via Zoom   
 
​The Wesley Covenant Prayer has been used in Methodist services around the world on the first Sunday of the year since John Wesley introduced it in 1755. Wesley expected that people would pray this prayer as a way of remembering, renewing, and surrendering themselves in complete trust to God. When we pray it, we are reminded what living like Jesus looks like and what loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind and loving our neighbor as ourselves requires of us.

In The Wesley Prayer Challenge, author Chris Folmsbee invites readers to consider words from the Wesley Covenant Prayer each day for three weeks while reflecting on their meaning in the context of the larger prayer. Each day’s reading includes scripture, prayer, and a challenge for daily life. Books and e-books are available through most major book sellers.

From the publisher:
Experience Holy Friday from the perspective of those who watched Jesus die: Mary his mother; the Beloved Disciple from the Gospel of John; the women from Galilee; the two thieves crucified with Jesus; the centurion and the soldiers; Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus.

In Witness at the Cross, Amy-Jill Levine shows how the people at the cross each have distinct roles to play. Each gospel writer portrays different individuals and groups of people at the cross, each offers different images and dialogues, and so from each, we learn how those meanings and messages cross the centuries to any who would come to the cross today.

Each Gospel has its own story to tell, all the witnesses have their own memories, and every reader comes away with a new insight. The witnesses at the Crucifixion watch Jesus die, and we watch with them, and we watch them. And we come away transformed.

Witness At the Cross, available from most major booksellers.
