Introducing...

We want to welcome 3 new members to our online group!
Karen Muscolino and Bob and Meghan (Marcantonio) Gunsallus.
Since we had a chance to meet in person at the start, we didn't really do introductions online. Now that Karen, Bob, and Meghan are coming on board, take a moment to introduce yourself to them.

Chapter 2 - Unbinding the Gospel--With Prayer (Complete by 27 February)

Use the comments function to this post to share questions, comments, Bible passages, whatever... that come to mind as you read the second chapter which starts on page 27.
In particular, share what you are comfortable sharing when you get to the Discussion Questions on page 41. I'd be particularly interested to hear your responses to the 4th question regarding your own experiences with prayer.
To keep on track, we want to finish chapter 2 by Monday, February 27.
The Lord be with you!

Prayer Journal: Week 2 Day 6 = Sunday 26 February

Reflection Day:

Prayer Journal: Week 1 Day 6 - Reflection

The book calls this a reflection day. Consider the two questions asked:
  1. What are the most important things I've learned/discovered/remembered this week?
  2. God, what one insight would you like me to share with my study group?

Introduction

I'm glad that some of us were able to get together this morning! I trust that this will be fun and rewarding for all of us.

You may want to start by reading the Introduction in our book which starts on page 3. Also note that if you want to skip some of the materials, you can do pretty well just by reading the excerpts in the margin.

Prayer Journal: Week 1 Day 1 = Monday 13 February


The Lord be with you! We will figure this out how we go. For now, I'm planning for us to have a daily blog post like this one where we can find the Bible passage and share some of our prayer concerns together.
We are starting with the Prayer Journal on Monday, February 13.
You can find an introduction to the prayer journal on page 115 of the book. The daily meditations start on page 120.

Week 1, Day 1

Welcome!

Grace and Peace to you and welcome to this online group where we will be together for "40 Days of Prayer & Faith Sharing."

Just a few things before we get started...
  • This is NOT a public blog. It is not listed on Blogger's collection of sites. It cannot be found by searching for it. Someone has to know the link to find it. This means that we are fairly private here, but I wouldn't write anything that absolutely has to remain confidential. 
  • I am the administrator for this site, but each of you is an author. I will be responsible for the weekly headings. Each of you can respond, but you can also start your own posts.
  • I have added a feature that makes it possible to jump directly to Bible verses. Whenever you write a Bible passage, a link for it should automatically be created. E.g., one of my favorite passages is Mark 6:34.
  • We will have a weekly entry related to the chapter of the book we are reading.
  • We will also have a daily entry related to our Prayer Journal.
  • Let me know if you have any questions.
I look forward to being with you here online!
Mark
