The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Amen.

Conversation Series | The Art of Being Basic

Sometimes we just need to get back to the basics. In this series we are exploring some of the basic practices of community.

Message | Gratitude

This week Megan leads us through the community practice of forgiveness. Why does forgiveness matter in the life of the community?

Formational Learning:

As we explored the practice of forgiveness, what stood out to you?

Were there any points of curiosity, clarity, confusion, conviction, or conflict that emerged as you walked through these stories?

(Head)

Forgive and forget is a phrase that most of us have heard, but in the message we challenged this idea. Forgetting can be a way of avoiding the truth, and we need to face the truth to forgive. If this is true, what is the relationship between forgiveness and memory?

(Heart)

Whether you were the giver or receiver, how have you personally experienced the process of forgiveness?

(Hands)

Where or from whom does the church need to ask/seek forgiveness?

Our Benediction

May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever he may send you;

may he guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm;

may he bring you home rejoicing: at the wonders he has shown you;

may he bring you home rejoicing: once again into our doors.*
