If you
prayed to receive more freedom in worship or spiritual gifts at our prayer
ministry night, here’s a great opportunity to begin to exercise that freedom!
After worship, John Keating will
be speaking to us to wrap up our series on worship. He is a very anointed and
powerful speaker and it will no doubt be inspiring to hear what he has to
say. | ||

This week we'll have our regular time of worship and seeking the Lord, followed by a short talk by me (John Hughes), then we're planning on having a time to honor one another. Honoring times are pretty counter-cultural and I don't think many of us are used to them, but I think it's something that really helps build a Christ-centered environment, and it breaks through the negativity in our culture. So if you've got someone you've been looking to honor, this would be a great time to do so.

We’ll have a 1-hr service together starting at 11pm, in which we worship, go through some different meditations on Psalms of lament and the messianic Psalms, and carry a cross to different points in the Diag. Then starting at midnight, there will be one-hour shifts (up until 8am) for people to take to pray (or stay all night if they please!). Yes, I realize it’ll probably be pretty cold, but we’ll have a few folks coming out with hot-chocolate throughout the night.

This is a service put on by our brothers and sisters with Campus Chapel - UCO is co-sponsoring the event with some other groups, so it'd be great if we can get some folks out there. It should be a great service - Mark Roeda, a pastor with Campus Chapel, told me this: "it starts with a reading of the death of Christ in John 19 and the blood and water (thus the title of the service) that pours from his side. The rest of the service explores this symbolism using Hebrews 9:11-28 with readings, songs, images, and silence. You could call it an emergent/alt.worship styled service, but "emergent" has come to be synonymous with "heretical" in some circles. It's orthodox. I simply mean by that it compiles material drawn from a range of traditions and media." | ||

The Williamsons are opening their house for a
UCO Seder, for the second year in a row - last year was a huge success, even though the horse-radish was ridiculously potent. For those who have never done a Seder before, it is an adapted
version of the typical Jewish Passover feast.
We will start at 5:30pm, and be
finished by 7:30ish for those who have other commitments that night. But if you
are free to stay, then you are most welcome to hang out. Play pool, foosball,
watch a movie, spend time with the horses, etc.

Back by popular demand, Sam Williamson is going to come in to continue his Friday series covering various objections to Christianity. This time, the presentation/discussion has to do with Religion, Exclusivity and Peace. Critics of all religions (and Christianity in particular) state that religions tend to lead to war, strife, oppression, violence and marginalization. Claims that ‘I have the truth’ results in religious people looking down on others as inferior, so why can’t we just agree that all religions are equally valid? We will discuss the various flavors of this position, problems related to them, and what Jesus has to say about them. | ||

is coming in to speak on one of my favorite things (Ecumenism). So
I’m gonna have a good time this Tuesday. And you can too! Ecumenism is at the
heart of what we’re doing in UCO, and it’s important for us to understand it
well. Jerry is an Orthodox Christian from Lansing, and he’s got a lot of
experience as well as a great heart for this work. Let’s be lifting up this time in prayer – that the

Once a term or so we get together for worship as
the Michiganian UCOs. Last time they came down to Ann Arbor, so this time we’re
meeting in Lansing. This is a great opportunity to worship with like-minded
people, rekindle old friendships and make new ones. An overall awesome time…
And! For the first time ever, a group of students from Hillsdale (where a new
UCO is coming together) will be joining us – to glorify God with us “with one heart and mouth”. If you need a ride, let me (John - jdhughes84@gmail.com) know. If you can drive others, let me know. We
will make sure you get gas money. I encourage you all to
go! | ||
