Announcement: "Encountering Brueggermann"
Encountering Brueggemann: Journey to the Common Good, Sundays, March 20 and 27, 12:30 – 2:00 pm, East Gallery, St Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church.
Join Rev. Leah Sandwell-Weiss, Suzanne Hesh, and Genevieve Padilla for a two-part series at to discuss Prof. Walter Brueggemann’s most recent book, Journey to the Common Good (Westminster John Knox Press 2010). Dr. Brueggemann is today's preeminent Old Testament scholar. He asks, "Why is the narrative of Pharaoh, exploitation, anxiety, scarcity and fear, alive and well in today’s society?" Dr. Brueggemann states that when we live in a system of anxiety and fear - the fear of not having - it depletes us of the time and energy to see ourselves as neighbors and work toward a common good. Join us as we read, pray, critically reflect, and imagine an alternative to scarcity: abundance, neighborhood, and a commitment to the common good.
Participants should attend both sessions, bring their Bibles, and bring lunch. Please purchase the book prior to class; it is available for online or for purchase at the St. Philip's Little Shop while supplies last. We will cover the Introduction, the Afterward, and Chapter 1 in the first session; Chapters 2 and 3 in the second session. For more information and to register, contact the Rev. Leah Sandwell-Weiss, lsandwellweiss@gmail.com, 661-8696.

A Message from Father Smith re Gabrielle Giffords
Dear Friends: Terri called me this morning after I visited TMC and told me about the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords and many others. I share your shock at this tragedy so close to home. Let us pray for the repose of the souls of all those who lost their lives this morning and for their families, as well as those wounded by the attacker. Violent acts are never a solution to any of our problems. At Meditation group this morning we had a guest monk from our local Buddhist community. He talked of peace beginning within each of us and expanding out to others and the need to not let anything or anyone take away this peace. At this point the news appears optimistic for Gabby. Terri and I will continue to join you all in our prayers. Peace and Love, John+
***
In response to the Saturday tragedy, St. Michael’s Parish, St. Michael’s Parish Day School and all interested people are invited to walk “The Labyrinth” and begin the healing process of the nation. The meditation will begin at 10:30 am this Saturday and continue until further notice.
Peace †
