During the fall of 2013, the J2G small groups discussed Unbinding Your Heart by Martha Grace Reese, shared faith stories, and dedicated 40 days to group and individual prayer and spiritual growth practices. Testimonies given during worship services and the celebration event in November proved that participants experienced deeper relationships with Christ and with one another. The whole process has been under girded with prayer by a Prayer Team that met weekly in 2013 and continues to meet monthly.
The enthusiasm for J2G@Zion continues as new small groups are being formed in February 2014. The J2G Leadership Team has announced a variety of opportunities for small group learning and spiritual growth. A couple of these "Growth Groups" began meeting the week of February 9 and the rest will begin the week of February 16. Growth Group topics include: Unbinding Your Soul, the next book in the Unbinding Series by Martha Grace Reese; "Journey with Matthew", a bible study; "Journey to 'Luke'", a conversation on passages from the Gospel; and "Tempted", a group for young adults. Please see the Zion website for a schedule of and to sign up for these 6-week Growth Groups. It's not too late to join in the Journey to Growth at Zion!
Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth....You are the light of the world." The stories contained in this blog are testimonies of the ways that the Holy Spirit is working in and through the congregation of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, Landisville, PA, making us salt of the earth and light for the world in Jesus' name.
