Study Group Readings:
The Lord’s Prayer (2018):
“…While I read the Lord’s Prayer morning and evening, the ideas of my thought were then always opened toward heaven, and countless things flowed in, so that I observed clearly that the ideas of thought taken from the contents of the Prayer were filled from heaven” (AC 6619).
The Lord’s Prayer is applicable to every aspect of life. Let’s open our minds toward heaven as we think about this Prayer.
A class at the Feast of Charity on January 5 will introduce the program.
The Sunday church service at the beginning of each week will be on the same topic as the Study group for the week. After Sunday you should be able to find a recording of the service under “Audio Sermons” or “Video Services”.
Please read or listen to the daily readings before your Study Group meets. You can download them below or pick up printed copies at the church. If you do not have time to read all of the readings, click the “Show highlights” box on each page and read the highlighted portion.
If you need to find a Study Group to join, contact the Pastor’s office.
