"Saving Grace" returns Monday, March 2nd at 10pm

"Saving Grace" returns this Monday on TNT. It is a great show that takes a long, hard look at issues of faith, redemption, repentance and grace without all the fluff that often accompanies programs surrounding faith issues. I will be blogging each Tuesday about the newest episode. Check the blog on Tuesday and join in the conversation by commenting.

What do you think of this quote?

"The difference between great people and everyone else is that great people create their lives actively, while everyone else is created by their lives, passively waiting to see where life takes them next. The difference between the two is the difference between living fully and just existing."

Michael E. Gerber

Is he right? Where do you fall on this spectrum?

Theology on Tap begins February 12th

Theology on tap”: Have you or someone you know ever wanted to ask a pastor a question about faith, life, God, and how they all connect? If so, “Theology on tap” is for you. Beginning Thursday, February 12th, from 6-9pm Pastor Bob will be at Micho’s Bar and Grill, 25524 Five mile just east of Beech Daly, to respond to questions and be in conversation with all who gather about how God may or may not be making Himself present in our contexts. This will be a great opportunity to invite friends and family who may not ever attend a church service but have questions about religion, God and Jesus. Please invite them to come out and explore faith and life and how they connect. By the way, Micho’s has really good food so make a night of it! This will become a regular monthly ministry of St. John’s in 2009.

Our weekly book club will restart Friday, February 27th from 10-11am at First Cup Coffee House, Five mile and Inkster Road. We will be discussing John Ortberg’s new book, Faith &Doubt.

Being present in our community is an important aspect of our redevelopment process. Join us each week as we discuss faith, life, doubt and how they interact with each other.
