With Advent, we begin a new Liturgical Year, with this year’s focus on Matthew’s Gospel. Join us November 27 and the next 3 Sundays as parishioner Simone Crockett leads us with John Beddingfield in an exploration of Matthew and the particular way in which Matthew invites us to know and to love Jesus Christ.

We will study Matthew’s parables; the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount (do we really have to love our enemies?); and the Feeding of the Five Thousand, the miracle of Jesus feeding an enormous crowd with a few loaves of bread and some fish (how do you explain the inexplicable?) During the four Sundays as we read the Gospel to learn about Christ, we will also be learning how to pray Scripture - to spiritually encounter Jesus, the living Word, who meets us through our spiritual reading of Scripture and uses the words of Scripture to draw us into a transforming relationship.
