Our Easter Pastorates—that is, home groups—are great opportunities to connect with others and grow in our life of faith together. For this semester, our Pastorates will meet only three weeks in a row beginning on April 22, 6:00–8:00 p.m. But while they might be short in duration, each Pastorate packs a punch. See the signup sheet in the foyer on Easter Sunday or email Fr. Wes.

REFLECTIONS ON RESURRECTION
Facilitated by Gary Osborne at the home of Jim and Halina Warmbrod
In this Pastorate, we’ll briefly explore the following authorities on the resurrection: the Old and New Testament, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Apostles’ and Nicene Creed. Our aim is to better incorporate the teachings of Christian resurrection in our lives so that following Easter morning we may proclaim the following words with confidence and assurance: “He is risen! The Lord is risen, indeed!”

USING THE PRAYER BOOK
Facilitated by Fr. Wes Gristy at the home of Rusty and Charleyn Reviere
The uniting distinctive of the Anglican tradition has always been its common worship, rooted in the ancient practices of the church and expressed in the Book of Common Prayer. Not only is this a precious gift to the church, but also it’s a wonderful tool for personal and corporate formation. Join us as we explore the wealth of resources in the Book of Common Prayer and learn how to utilize it more for the development of the church.

CREATIVE SPIRIT: THE ART OF BEING HUMAN
Faciliated Fr. Brian Larsen Wells at the home of Rich and Debbi Wagner
Genesis 1 tells us that we are created in the image of God. While the depths of this truth are too deep for us to explore in their entirety, surely one undeniable aspect of the Imago Dei is the fact that human beings exist as imaginative, creative beings, beings who reflect dimly the glory of their Father through their various artistic enterprises. Together, we will delve into the nature of this shared creative spirit, a gift that undergirds all of humanity’s visual, literary, and performing arts.
