Invitation into our Year of Jubilee
You are encouraged to be a part of our church’s discernment process this year as we listen closely to how the changing culture will help the church change to meet the needs of the people in this time and place. You are invited to watch a 15 minute video on the Post Modern Culture by going to this you tube link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K15g-df_Gb0&feature=youtu.be and then ordering one of the books that is suggested in the presentation (also listed below). You can read alone, you can invite some friends into a book club to read together and then watch for opportunities both on site at Calvary and on our Facebook page to respond to what you have read, heard and experienced. God says in Leviticus chapter 25, “It shall be a jubilee for you; it shall be holy.” May we enter into this year, open to God’s guidance and leading!
