The Power of Encouragement

“Too often we underestimates the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” Leo Buscaglia
Encouragement means being caregivers of one another. As a hospice chaplain, I observe daily the power of encouragement and how it impacts the lives of patients, caregivers, and family. Through discussion, videos, and life experiences, let’s take a look at the nature of encouragement, the methods of encouragement, the source of encouragement, and the results of encouragement. It might just re-shape our live and our journey.
Stuart has served in the field of hospice for over 15 years which allows him to take the practical side of religion, healthcare, and theology and to see how it operates in the most challenging condition in our life, our mortality. He is Director of the non-profit, People Caring for People, working with the disenfranchised of our community and world.

Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith
Rev. Laurie Purcell | Room 133
Does your faith make room for questions? Everyone has doubts. Where is God when bad things happen? Does God hear our prayers? Is there a heaven? How can we know? Often we treat such questions as the enemy of faith. But uncertainty doesn’t mean our belief is lacking. Doubt can be a path to a deeper, richer encounter with God. This class will address some of our most significant sources of doubt and shows how a steady trust in God can emerge from them.

As we continue our Year in the Bible, we are currently in the prophetic books of the Old Testament. These books conveyed God’s messages to the people of Israel and Judah, delivering warnings, judgments, and words of renewal and hope. They provide a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of God’s character, His expectations for His people, and His unwavering promise of redemption.

There is no doubt that parts of the Old Testament can be difficult to read or understand. Some question whether ancient texts have any value for today’s world. But the Old Testament is the scripture that Jesus taught from and is full of wisdom for us. It is made up of scriptures that inspire, educate, challenge, and transform. Join Bob and Wendy as they explore God’s message in the Old Testament.
Who was Luke and why was St. Luke’s named after him? Why did he write one of the four gospels and who was Theophilus that he addressed this book to? Join us for this study as we explore Luke’s gospel, the unique ways he shares the good news of Jesus Christ, and what this good news means for our lives.
Jesus said He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. What does that mean? What are the hallmarks of an abundant life? This class will look to scripture to see the kind of life that Christ would have us to live and the tools to live it. In addition, we’ll use the new book, Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier by Arthur C. Brooks and Oprah Winfrey.
Have you ever wondered why there are so many expressions or “cousins” in the Christian faith? What are the differences and what are the similarities? “Christian Cousins” will take a look into other expressions of the Christian faith and how their worship practices, ministry practices, and biblical interpretations differ from the Methodist traditions and interpretations. We will host guests every week who will share their faith perspectives with us in an interview setting.
Worship is the central practice of the Christian faith. Each week, we gather to worship God. It is a moment unlike anything else we experience the rest of our week. Why do we worship the way we do? What does the Bible teach us about worship? How can we grow closer to God and deepen our understanding of the practice of worship. This class will explore these questions and many more like it. All are invited to come and explore the joy of worship.
God’s everlasting faithfulness endures forever – but God’s love is revealed in an endless number of ways. The Bible has numerous examples of God working in the world through unexpected people in surprising situations. Throughout scripture and history, God has called women and men, the young and the old, the powerful and the weak, the popular and the outcast to show His love in new and imaginative ways. While the world around us tends to enjoy the status quo, Christ is continually doing a new thing. How can each one of us truly share God’s love in new and meaningful ways? Join Bob and Wendy for this Bible study that looks at God’s creativity in showing love.
John’s gospel is full of some of the most symbolic stories we find in the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ life and ministry. The images are full of love, redemption, and life.

The Book of Job uses the reality of human suffering to help us understand how to see God in a new way. This Biblical gem also helps us make sense of innocent suffering in the world.

What are we saved from? In this pre-history of Genesis we will learn what we mean when we say we are truly human!
How do we connect with God? How do we experience the presence and power of God at work in our world and in our lives? How do we experience the life transforming power of God in worship and in our ordinary, daily moments? When we connect with God, we become the people who are capable of sharing God’s love and hope with our world.
