Film Group: RANGO, Tue., April 5
Attention Film Group:
Our next film will be on Tuesday, April 5. We’ll meet at Brenden Theaters to watch RANGO at 6pm, which Rotten Tomatoes reviews as:
“It may not be as charming as it thinks it is — and it certainly isn’t for kids — but Rango is a smart, giddily creative burst of beautifully animated entertainment.”
If you have finger foods or drinks you want to drop off for our conversation following the movie, please do so at the Mistlin Gallery on J St before 6pm.
For more information, contact Rob at studentministries.collegeavenue@gmail.com.
This group is open to all–if you haven’t yet, come join in on the fun!

Lenten Meditation Practices
Prayer of the Heart: A Christian Contemplative Meditation and Prayer Practice
Wednesday, March 16, March 30, and April 13, 7pm, Sanctuary
You may attend one or all three contemplative meditation and prayer sessions to learn the ancient Christian practice known as Prayer of the Heart (also called “The Jesus Prayer” or Hesychasm). Instructions will be repeated, but each session will build successively to teach the complete practice. The early Christian Desert Mothers and Fathers developed this interior prayer practice for the purpose of achieving mystical divine union with God by opening the heart to the movement of the Holy Spirit. Each session will begin with a short teaching and instruction, followed by a meditation practice period, a short walking meditation period, and another meditation practice period. Everyone is welcome! Those who are new to contemplative prayer or meditation are especially invited to participate.
