Criminal Justice Sunday
Sunday, January 29th, has been designated by the Presbyterian Church USA as “Criminal Justice Sunday”. We will be devoting our worship time to the theme of criminal justice in the church and our community. Instead of a traditional sermon during worship, testimonies will be offered by different individuals involved with our local criminal justice system including two ex-offenders and Judge Benjamin Proctor.
After worship, from 10:30-11:30, the discussion of justice in our community will continue. This conversation will involve a wide variety of perspectives that may include: ex-offenders, victims, judges, as well as other local criminal justice system personnel from Eau Claire Drug Court, District Attorney’s Office and Probation Department. It is hoped that this broader discussion will both enlighten and challenge.
The public is encouraged to come and reflect upon important questions about our faith and community such as: What is justice? How do we measure it? What is the difference between retribution and restorative justice? How might forgiveness be combined with accountability and justice with mercy? What is the relationship between concepts like: justice, healing, compassion, forgiveness, mercy, grace and love?
Childcare is available for both of these events.

Spiritual Nurture Group
The Spiritual Nurture group offers an opportunity to learn how to nurture our faith through spiritual practices. In each meeting, group members share each others’ burdens and joys, and focus on a spiritual idea or practice, often taking time to experience the practice.
This winter and spring we’ll look further at the idea of being present to God as well as to the people around us. We’ll learn different ways of praying, such as “trigger” prayer, centering prayer and ways of praying with the body, and we will read and discuss scripture together. We strive to incorporate these faith practices into our everyday roles at home, work and within the church and the community. We believe that contemplation leads to action and we seek to help each other discern what action God is prompting of us.
We meet Tuesdays from 10-11am and would love to have you join us. Childcare is provided. |
