You are invited to a Vespers Fellowship, and Book Study at Living Peace Church of the Brethren

 

Turning the world upside down doesn't happen all at once, but you can make a start by joining the Living Peace Church of the Brethren, a new fellowship in Sioux City, for a short vesper service and book study each Sunday at 5 PM. The meetings will take place at 1319 W 5th Street in Sioux City.

The hour-long program will include the short prayer service followed by a study of "The Powers That Be: Theology for a New Millennium" by noted author Walter Wink. Wink challenges the notion that corporate and political powers should be the ones setting the agenda for a modern society, and invites readers to recognize that many people mindlessly subscribe to the empty spirituality of the world as they find it, rather than mining scripture and experience for the true spirituality that brings shape, meaning, and salvation to believers.

The book is available through amazon.com or through Lucinda Douglas, who can be contacted at (712) 252-9630. Douglas leads the sessions, which take place at the Whitfield United Methodist Church, which is located blocks west of the intersection of Hamilton Blvd and West 4th Street, then over another block on West 5th Street. All are warmly welcomed to attend.

Walter Wink  - "The Powers That Be: Theology for a New Millennium"
Dr. Walter Wink is Professor Emeritus of Biblical Interpretation at Auburn Theological Seminary in New York City. Previously, he was a parish minister and taught at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. In 1989-1990 he was a Peace Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace.
