Can You Drink The Cup?
– by Henri Nouwen
During Lent The Monday group will center on the question Jesus asked James and John, Can You Drink The Cup?
In this book, author Henri Nouwen uses the cup as a metaphor to articulate basics of the spiritual life. Nouwen draws stories from his own life and ministry to tell the story of the cup as the story of our life too.

Leaders: Lori & Andy Barrieau
Current Topic: Revelation, by N.T. Wright
Revelation -N.T. Wright
Many people today regard Revelation as the hardest book in the New Testament. It is full of strange, lurid and sometimes bizarre and violent imagery. As a result, many people who are quite at home in the Gospels, Acts and Paul find themselves tiptoeing around Revelation with a sense that they don't really belong there. But they do! In fact, Revelation offers one of the clearest and sharpest visions of God's ultimate purpose for the whole creation, and of the way in which the powerful forces of evil, at work in a thousand ways, can be and are being overthrown through the victory of Jesus the Messiah and the consequent costly victory of his followers.
Like the other guides in the N.T. Wright for Everyone series, Revelation brings you into a fresh encounter with Scripture under the guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars. Thoughtful questions, prayer suggestions, and useful background information guide you and your group through each study.

(During Lent) Reliving the Passion, by Walter Wangerin, Jr.
(Easter) A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23, by Phillip Keller
Reliving the Passion
– by Walter Wangerin, Jr.
During Lent The Wednesday Night Women's Group will experience this daily devotional book in which the reader participates dramatically in Holy Week. We crucify and are crucified, are condemned and redeemed. This powerful mixing of devotion, imagination, and intellect makes Lent come alive as perhaps never before.
The group decided they will use this book as their daily devotion, and the study will be offered every week, with each person attending as available. Every Wednesday in Lent, the Zoomers will look back on the devotions of the previous week and share what these devotions have meant to them, any questions they might have and how they can live out what they’ve learned.
Dates: (every week during Lent)
