EVENING OF PRAYER – Mark your calendar and join us for an Evening of Prayer on Tuesday, August 8 here at Threshold Church at 7:00 PM. We will pray particularly for healing for the many in our community who are dealing with health issues, chronic pain, grief, and emotional struggles. The Elders and others will be available to pray for you, personally, if you are interested and willing. Reach out to Jason if you have any questions, jason@thresholdchurchonline.com. If you cannot attend, you can send your prayer requests to Jason or to prayer@thresholdchurchonline.com.
WALK TO EMMAUS –The Walk to Emmaus is an experience of Christian spiritual renewal and formation that begins with a three-day short course in Christianity. It is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as God’s grace and love is revealed to you through other believers. For more details, see the bulletin board, contact Bill or Pat Lindenschmidt (513-671-7059), or www.CincinnatiEmmaus.org, which includes a brief video presentation.
SUMMER READING – The reading group will continue to meet tomorrow, Monday July 31st and again on August 7th at Panera off Union Centre Blvd. Book discussion starts at 7:15, but join us for dinner at 6:30 if you’d like! We will be reading a novella from A Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers. This book contains 5 novellas – we will be reading Unveiled (first two chapters for first week). We will plan on reading the others when we hold future book clubs! You can order this book from Amazon for $9.60. Also available on Kindle.
