Life of Spiritual Discipline by Lauren F. Winner. Inspired by the
Jewishness of Jesus, this study looks at seven ways of Christian
formation. Each of the six weeks will focus on a different spiritual
discipline: sabbath keeping, hospitality/eating food, prayer, fasting,
grief/mourning well, and doorposts. We will meet in the sanctuary at
11:00. Grab a coffee and join us for one or all of the classes.
If you have any questions or wish to purchase a book , please see teacher,

LEARN MORE ABOUT Gretna United Methodist Church?
We will be hosting a series of Membership Discovery classes beginning
on Sunday, March 8, 2015. These relaxed discussions will help you to
explore: United Methodist Church’s beliefs and practices; the mission
and ministry of Gretna United Methodist Church; and the significance of
church membership. We will meet after worship in the REACH
Coordinator’s office for approximately one hour. Since each session
covers different topics of interest, we encourage you to attend all
sessions. Child care is available for younger children.
We welcome everyone to the worship service -- whether you are
here for the first time or a long time attender, we want you to
experience God’s unconditional love through our family of faith.
Our desire is to help you connect with God, and connect with
people that can encourage you in your faith journey.

Call to Worship from Psalm 111:1-8
Praise the Lord.
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of
the upright, in the congregation.
Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who have pleasure in
them.
Full of honor and majesty are the works of the Lord whose
righteousness endures for ever,
who has caused his wonderful works to be remembered; the Lord is
gracious and merciful.
The Lord provides food for the faithful and is ever mindful of his
covenant.
The Lord has shown his people the power of his works by giving them
the heritage of the nations.
The works of the Lord’s hands are faithful and just; the precepts of
the Lord are trustworthy; they are established for ever and ever, to
be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
Prayer
O God, in mystery and silence you are present in our lives, bringing new
life out of destruction, hope out of despair, growth out of difficulty. We
thank you that you do not leave us alone but labor to make us whole.
Help us to perceive your unseen hand in the unfolding of our lives, and to
attend to the gentle guidance of your Spirit, that we may know the joy
you give your people. Amen
