Jun 2 Beyond the Walls Online Church 2024

We invite you to share communion with disciples around the world as we begin our 10 Sundays of Parables series with Jesus’ teaching of the Lost Sheep. Heidi Hazen Ramirez of Orlando, Florida, will explore the counter-intuitive idea that any shepherd would leave a flock of 99 to search for one lost sheep, and what that says for Christians and our mission in the 21st century. From London, Ontario, Scott Scherer will teach a lesson updating us on the work of Zerin, the church’s social housing charity, to address housing injustice. We invite you to join seekers around the world as we share together in the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. 🍞🍇
Beyond the Walls - The Lost Sheep. We invite you to share this hour of reflection, prayer, meditation, music, and fellowship with the Beyond the Walls global community on 📅 Sunday, June 2, 2024.

My husband and I both fast on Communion Sundays. Preparation before the communion adds to its significance.
