No Idle Question
Open House at 1309 Tomorrow
Everyone is invited to an informal Open House at 1309 Bay Ridge Avenue, Annapolis tomorrow (Saturday, November 4) from 10:00AM-12:00PM. Even if you’ve got only a few minutes, come, walk through the building and begin imagining us in that place and the next chapters of our story we’ll write together. You can even bring a friend or two if you’d like.
Our “story”, our Shared Vision: “To proclaim and promote the Gospel; giving ever more time, talent, and treasure to seeking the flourishing of our neighbors.” (Matthew 28:19 and Matthew 22:34-40)
No Idle Question
The Beatitudes are among the literary and religious treasures of the human race. We can savor them, affirm them, meditate on them, and engrave them on plaques to hang on our walls. But a major question remains: How are we to live in response to them? This is no idle question. Misunderstanding the “blesseds” given by Jesus in Matthew 5 has caused not a small amount of pain and confusion down through the ages that continues today. Strangely enough, his blesseds have not uniformly been a blessing.
It will help us to know what to do with the Beatitudes—and what not to do—if we can catch a glimpse of what Jesus was doing with them.
See you Sunday.
