Starting Point--
A Study of Ephesians!


“Starting Point” is a gathering for people who are interested in discussing and learning more about Christian faith in a Lutheran context.  This is a place to bring your questions and experiences!  It is also a place for those who are new to West Linn Lutheran Church as well as those who have been here for years!!


Lets’ study Ephesians!
As a way of getting at some of the basics of our Christian faith, we will use the six chapters of
Ephesians as our guide to this work.  This study of Ephesians will be about how those early Christians learned about the faith and began to use that faith-filled practice in their daily life.

 

Everyone is welcome!  We want to invite you into this great exploration of faith and life as we grow as Christians in our world today!

How ‘Safe’ is WLLC? Living into the Practice of Hospitality

This class will have three components:

1. Assessing hospitality at WLLC.

2. Looking at Scripture and Christian traditions about hospitality.

3. Connecting with vulnerable neighbors and members: victims of violence; refugees; migrant workers.

Participants will be actively involved in looking at WLLC demographics and how we connect with our community.  As people of faith our activity will be shaped by the welcome we have found with God through Jesus Christ.  “Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.” (Rom. 15:7)

Spiritual Art Journaling
This class will focus on a simple Bible Study process incorporating some creative spirit.   There are many people for whom connecting with God beyond the intellectual level of belief is a challenge. The practice of listening to God is difficult, and prayer is often like leaving a voice mail message hoping that God checks it someday and gets back to us.

This "Intro to Spiritual Art Journaling" class introduces a hands-on approach on a way  to connect with God - expressing their true selves, prayers, desires, longings, pain, joy or other emotions through creative art form, and listening for what God would say.

This class is not just geared for those who are naturally artistic or creative. But, even for the experienced creative, this class is designed to awaken you to another way that God speaks and another way to pray.
