How do we treat "spirit" in our lives? Ignore it? Put it in a pigeon hole? Be aware that it wraps around every aspect of our being? The study invites us to explore these and other questions.
Each session begins with a brief presentation from a video series called Nooma,with Rob Bell, In these short presentations Bell uses every day life events to illustrate scripture, or perhaps he uses scripture to illuminate every day life events. Is rain just precipitation or can it be seen as a metaphor for our life in Christ?
The word Nooma comes from the Greek and is translated as "spirit." The series challenges us to reflect on our faith and how we understand scripture. It invites us to take God out of the "church" and put Him at the centre of our lives.
We plan to watch two short videos per week for the 12 weeks of the course. Don't worry if you miss a week, or if you've missed the first one. Each session can stand alone--or with the others. The sessions are available on youtube if you want to see what it's all about.
All are welcome, whether you attend SPPC or not. The morning study begins at 9:30 am and the evening one at 7:00 pm. We're a friendly bunch. Discussions are animated, thoughtful, fun and respectful. Coffee is always ready.
