Sunday Morning Book Group Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer by Richard Rohr

Sunday Morning Book Group Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer by Richard Rohr

We will meet weekly on Sunday mornings from 9:00 to 9:45 AM from Jan. 19 to Mar. 2. There will be seven sessions, and we will read one chapter per week.  If the group decides to go through the book faster, we can do that, too.  Please read chapter 1 for the Jan. 19th session if you can.

Summary of Everything Belongs is one of the most popular and best-known books written by Richard Rohr. In this book he offers us the belief that we have no real access to who we really are except in God. Only when we rest in God can we find the safety, the spaciousness, and the scary freedom to be who we are, all that we are, more than we are, and less than we are. Only when we live and see through God can “everything belong.”  186 pages. There is a podcast that goes along with this as well.  

Everything belongs can be purchased online at Amazon for $19.95 here:  Amazon Link to purchase

Tuesday Afternoon Book Group Multiplying Love by Paul W. Chilcote
Feb

Tuesday Afternoon Book Group Multiplying Love by Paul W. Chilcote

Tuesday Afternoon Group Multiplying Love by Paul W. Chilcote

We will meet weekly on Tuesday afternoons from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. from Jan. 21 to Mar. 4. There will be seven sessions, and we will read one to two chapters weekly. If the group decides to read the book faster, we can do that, too.

This book came to us from the UMC bishop, Bishop Bickerton, who sent two books to all clergy in New England for Christmas (the other book is Christlikeness—Loving as Jesus Loved, also by Chilcote). While the books may engage in a bit more Methodism than we are used to, they are focused on meaningful and important topics for all Christians, regardless of denomination.  (99 pages)

Multiplying Love can be purchased online at Amazon for $13.49 here: Amazon Link to Purchase

 

Thoughts and Summary of Multiplying Love - Our world needs love during these desperate days of radical polarization and division. Our United Methodist churches yearn to embrace love more completely because God first loved us. Our “faith” (including doctrine) is important; Christian “hope” (including renewal) is important; “love” of God and neighbor is more important. Multiplying Love underscores what matters most and contrasts divisive misreadings of essential Methodist teachings. Chilcote helps us embrace anew the Wesleyan vision of the love of Jesus as central to what we believe and how we live.

When I finished Multiplying Love, I found myself jumping up and down shouting, “Yes, yes, yes! Gosh, do we need this!” We are at a remaking moment in the church. Dr. Chilcote beautifully articulates the deeper theological vision that beckons and sustains us. Multiplying Love helped me more thoroughly embrace the kind of loving people we are hoping to become. That’s what it’s all about to me, and this book nails it!
—Rev. Christy Allen Holden, co-creator of The Channel UMC, a new hybrid community of faith (@christyallenholden)

Every United Methodist pastor would do well to invite their church council to read Paul Chilcote’s brief and powerful Multiplying Love. This book recalls the power of the Wesleyan approach to the gospel and makes a compelling case for the future of the United Methodist Church. I loved it!
—Rev. Adam Hamilton, Kansas pastor and author of Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith

Women’s Gathering on the Enneagram

Women’s Gathering on the Enneagram

Women’s Gathering on the Enneagram

Dear Women of NCC,

You’re warmly invited to join us for a women’s gathering on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 10 AM in the church lounge.

We’ll explore the fascinating world of the Enneagram—a powerful tool used by churches and spiritual communities to foster deeper understanding, connection, and collaboration. Together, we’ll discuss how this ancient framework can help us better appreciate our own unique gifts and those of others in our community.

To help you decide if this topic resonates with you, we recommend The Enneagram Institute’s website(enneagraminstitute.com) for a quick overview or Richard Rohr’s book The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective for a more contemplative approach.

No prior knowledge of the Enneagram is needed—just curiosity and an open mind. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided.

We hope you’ll join us for this engaging and meaningful discussion!

With peace,

Pastor Patty

Sunday Morning Book Group Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer by Richard Rohr

Sunday Morning Book Group Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer by Richard Rohr

We will meet weekly on Sunday mornings from 9:00 to 9:45 AM from Jan. 19 to Mar. 2. There will be seven sessions, and we will read one chapter per week.  If the group decides to go through the book faster, we can do that, too.  Please read chapter 1 for the Jan. 19th session if you can.

Summary of Everything Belongs is one of the most popular and best-known books written by Richard Rohr. In this book he offers us the belief that we have no real access to who we really are except in God. Only when we rest in God can we find the safety, the spaciousness, and the scary freedom to be who we are, all that we are, more than we are, and less than we are. Only when we live and see through God can “everything belong.”  186 pages. There is a podcast that goes along with this as well.  

Everything belongs can be purchased online at Amazon for $19.95 here:  Amazon Link to purchase

Tuesday Afternoon Book Group Multiplying Love by Paul W. Chilcote

Tuesday Afternoon Book Group Multiplying Love by Paul W. Chilcote

Tuesday Afternoon Group Multiplying Love by Paul W. Chilcote

We will meet weekly on Tuesday afternoons from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. from Jan. 21 to Mar. 4. There will be seven sessions, and we will read one to two chapters weekly. If the group decides to read the book faster, we can do that, too.

This book came to us from the UMC bishop, Bishop Bickerton, who sent two books to all clergy in New England for Christmas (the other book is Christlikeness—Loving as Jesus Loved, also by Chilcote). While the books may engage in a bit more Methodism than we are used to, they are focused on meaningful and important topics for all Christians, regardless of denomination.  (99 pages)

Multiplying Love can be purchased online at Amazon for $13.49 here: Amazon Link to Purchase

 

Thoughts and Summary of Multiplying Love - Our world needs love during these desperate days of radical polarization and division. Our United Methodist churches yearn to embrace love more completely because God first loved us. Our “faith” (including doctrine) is important; Christian “hope” (including renewal) is important; “love” of God and neighbor is more important. Multiplying Love underscores what matters most and contrasts divisive misreadings of essential Methodist teachings. Chilcote helps us embrace anew the Wesleyan vision of the love of Jesus as central to what we believe and how we live.

When I finished Multiplying Love, I found myself jumping up and down shouting, “Yes, yes, yes! Gosh, do we need this!” We are at a remaking moment in the church. Dr. Chilcote beautifully articulates the deeper theological vision that beckons and sustains us. Multiplying Love helped me more thoroughly embrace the kind of loving people we are hoping to become. That’s what it’s all about to me, and this book nails it!
—Rev. Christy Allen Holden, co-creator of The Channel UMC, a new hybrid community of faith (@christyallenholden)

Every United Methodist pastor would do well to invite their church council to read Paul Chilcote’s brief and powerful Multiplying Love. This book recalls the power of the Wesleyan approach to the gospel and makes a compelling case for the future of the United Methodist Church. I loved it!
—Rev. Adam Hamilton, Kansas pastor and author of Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith
