Join us on October 25 at 1pm for our most recent Lunch & Learn – Welcoming the Stranger: A Biblical and Practical Guide to Understanding Immigration, led by Matthew Blanton, PhD candidate and fellow parishioner.

Migration is one of the defining social issues of our day. More people have been forcibly displaced than at any point since the end of the Second World War. Intensifying enforcement operations and sharp political divisions have made immigration one of the most contested issues in American life. Here in Austin, where nearly one in five residents is foreign-born, many of our neighbors are navigating daily life under growing uncertainty and fear.

Grounded in biblical teaching and informed by migration history and research, this lunch and learn aims to offer a fuller, more faithful understanding of one of the most urgent issues of our time.

Please bring your own lunch for this time of rich learning. No registration required.  

Sunday, October 18, 7pm. Soaking Prayer participants are invited to simply be in God's presence and be ministered to by the Holy Spirit. Prayer ministers read the participants' prayer requests (from index cards) and pray silently for each participant, gently laying hands on shoulders if given permission to do so. This allows the prayer minister to intercede on the participants' behalf, without interrupting (with their words) what the Lord is in the process of doing. Please register here if you would like to attend.

The silent retreat is an opportunity to set aside time to reflect on Scripture, engage in contemplative prayer in community, and still your heart so that you can listen to God. The retreat will be held at the beautiful Cedarbrake Renewal Center in Temple. We begin on Friday with dinner (and conversation) and ends with lunch (and conversation) on Sunday.
