Jim Griffith

New Church guru Jim Griffith is going to be in Rio Ranch this weekend and we are invited to come by. The new church in rio rancho is doing a service from 5 - 7 on Sat. evening at Mt. View Middle School and then visiting about it. On Sunday there will be general conversation about new churches and how to start them at Vista Grande Elementary School from 9 - 5. If any of you can make it to any part of these please let me know. The more the merrier!

Rituals

We began a discussion tonight about rituals we can identify in our church experiences. Worshiping on Sundays, Communion, The Lord's Prayer, the creeds, etc. We weren't ready to wrap our heads around what might be a ritual X-ile would want to use. We're thinking on it, though. Each of us can consider the idea for next week. We'll meet at Coaches again at 7:30pm on 2/17. The reading will be from 2 Kings 25. Peace be with you all.
