May 1st Gathering

Our next gathering is on May 1st at Wade and Tiffany's home. We will be doing some Christian ice breakers. For some reason, I cannot manage a copy and paste right now. If you need them for the discussion, please e-mail me so you can get on our e-mail list. But this is probably something you do not need to prepare for. We hope to see you there. If you need the address, please contact me. -Samantha at asst-rector@ascension-norfolk.org

March Gathering

Our last gathering was snowed out! I know, you never thought you would hear that about Norfolk. We have rescheduled for March 27th at 7pm. The Wards are hosting. Contact Samantha at the church if you are interested but not on the e-mail list.

Read the 2 page article on Christianity Today about some Christian’s inability to admit they are Christians and watch the clip of “The Really Big Favor” on Mr. Deity. Then consider a couple questions.
Mr. Deity tends to highlight the ridiculous side of Christianity. In this particular video we see what is commonly called “The scandal of the cross.” Are there some things about out faith that are hard for you to accept? Is there a possibility the hardest things to accept are in fact the most important things? Who would make that up? Read the article in light of these questions and prepare to discuss both.
