SUMMARY:Galatians Bible Study: Freedom in Jesus
DESCRIPTION:The letter to the Galatians is Paul’s brief and (in many ways) most powerful statement of his distinctive vision of God’s grace\, the transformative power of love\, and the freedom we have in Jesus. Fr. Bill Carroll will lead a six-week study\, where we will cover one chapter of the letter each week. Participants are encouraged to bring their favorite versions of the Bible\, either physical copies or digital ones. Bibles will also be available. This class is part of a broader effort to grow in our ability to read and use the Bible as followers of Jesus in the Episcopal Church. We will talk about the theory at a later date. We begin by reading the text together in community\, in order to seek God’s broad and freely given love. We will have dinner in the atrium at 6:30 pm and begin bible study in the large multipurpose room at 7 pm. To RSVP\, go to: ccc-info.org/GalatiansStudy

SUMMARY:Blessing of the Animals
DESCRIPTION:Bring your pets to receive a blessing from the clergy on the church lawn – weather permitting! \nMore about the Blessing of the Animals – \nSt. Francis of Assisi is one of the most beloved Christian saints\, whose appeal goes way beyond any one denomination or even Christianity itself.   By reading the Gospels\, Francis discovered the joy of following the poor Jesus and depending radically upon the generosity of our good and merciful God.   He practiced the hard work of reconciling warring factions in his native Assisi.   He befriended and lived among poor people\, as well as people with leprosy at a time when their condition filled many medieval townspeople with fear.   He considered the earth and the natural order\, including different species of plants and animals\, to be part of a single kinship network\, and called his fellow creatures brother or sister.   He is considered to be a patron saint of the natural environment\, and many Christian communities practice the blessing of beloved companion animals (as well as livestock and crops) on or near his Feast Day in early October.
