Please pray for my sister in law, Val Spenler. She has been battling lung cancer for the past two years. There have been ups and downs, but it had remained fairly stable with medication until recently when the medication stopped working. Fluid is building up in her lungs causing difficulty with breathing. She will be starting weekly chemo as well beginning Thursday, September 10th.

During this Christmas and New Year season, we invite you to explore a fantastic spiritual practice resource that many in our community have been finding a game-changer in their own spiritual lives.

Click Here to watch a 1-min video describing Lectio365 – a (free!) Daily Devotional and Guided Prayer App.

Each morning:

Engage in a creative 8-10 minute guided practice of scripture contemplation, personal reflection, and prayer.

Each evening:

Engage in another guided practice in the Prayer of Examen, contemplation, and preparation for rest.

We highly encourage you to give it a try for these two weeks, and just see what it does for your heart, mind, body, and spirit!

Wounded Saviour

Think of the way that Jesus – the one who just literally conquered death and proved his dominance over mortality – reveals who he is to Thomas. Instead of Jesus performing another miracle to convince, He invites his disciple to touch his wounds....
