Lenten Sermon Series 2022
Praying through Lent is our theme this holy season. The disciples said to Jesus, Lord, teach us to pray. Prayer is communication with God, and it includes both speaking and listening. Using the Psalms and other scriptures each week, we will be introduced to various aspects and types of prayer and invited to practice prayerful disciplines. See the tentative schedule below:
March 6 Our Posture for Prayer
March 13 The ACTS Prayer
March 20 Quiet Prayer
March 27 Lament
April 3 Perseverance and The Lord’s Prayer (One blended service at 11:00)

New Race Book Study Begins Tuesday, January 18
There’s still time to sign up. Email RUC Chair Bill Keesler at wkeesler@triad.rr.com. We are currently out of books in the church office but will gladly find copies for additional readers registering in these last few days.
The book is “America’s Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America” (2016), by Jim Wallis, a white evangelical preacher, pastor, university teacher, bestselling author, and magazine founder who has worked on racial issues for more than 50 years.
A total of six discussion sessions are planned for the book. Discussions will be held on the first and third Tuesdays monthly from 6 to 7 p.m.
The discussions, open to the entire congregation, offer an opportunity for combined discovery. All participants are encouraged to share their own thoughts and personal stories.
The discussions will be led by three RUC members – Walt Rouse, Ken Davis, and David Durrell. David will lead the first discussion session, which will focus on the Preface, Introduction, and Chapter 1.
The first discussion follows the celebration of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday on Monday and coincides on Tuesday with the National Day of Racial Healing, an outgrowth of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) efforts.
