Why St. John's? (2.0) (Part II)
<p>So what is our church, St. John’s all about? Listen to this episode to hear Fr. Chris, Fr. Ben, and Lalla discuss what makes our parish a special place and community.</p> <p>We discussed that church and community is fun– but what makes that fun different from the fun we have with the same people in other places? What makes the good works we do at church different from other non-profits? The core mission of the church is to connect Jesus Christ to the world and make him known.</p> <p>We talk about how St. John’s was founded to bring church to a new neighborhood in Lynchburg as Lynchburg grew and expanded. We talk about how a church home can be a sanctuary, or place of peace, once you have made a connection to a church. Our church has a strong emphasis on family and many families (2 and 3 and 4 generations) worship together in our parish. Our church building is also special. It has been added to and expanded many times by each generation of our church family. </p> <p>So– we turn it over to you. We’ve asked why you want to be a Christian and Episcopalian; now tell us what most excites you about this church family, and what you would change about our church if you could!</p> <p><strong>Reflection Question:</strong></p> <p>What excites you about St. John’s and coming to church?</p> <p>What would you change about the church?<br></p>

Why Christianity? (2.0) (Part II)
<p>(Updated to correct episode!) Why Christianity? This episode, we continue to explore Christianity and ask the question “so what?” What difference does being a Christian make? We are a Christian, now what?</p> <p>Just joining us? We're so glad you're here for Season 4. This is a new recording of our topic from Season 2--Confirmation-- with a new member of our team and a fresh take on three important questions:</p> <ol> <li>Why Christianity?</li> <li>Why The Episcopal Church? </li> <li>and Why St. John's?</li> </ol> <p>Join us & our youth this season as we prepare for confirmation in The Episcopal Church!</p> <p><br></p> <ol> <li><p><em>Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers ?I will, with God’s help.</em></p> </li> <li><p><em>Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord?I will, with God’s help.</em></p> </li> <li><p><em>Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?I will, with God’s help.</em></p> </li> <li><p><em>Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself?I will, with God’s help.</em></p> </li> <li><p><em>Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?I will, with God’s help. </em>(Book of Common Prayer, 417)</p> </li> </ol> <p>First we explore the answer to each of these questions we promise in Confirmation: “I will, with God’s help.” Then we jump into each question.</p> <p>What is the apostles teaching and fellowship (Acts 2:42)? We discussed a lot of it last week- it's our basic beliefs about Jesus. We discuss how Jesus instructed his apostles to live and how he sent the Holy Spirit to them in the first days after his resurrection. We also discussed passing on our faith, celebrating Holy Eucharist, and praying together as a community.</p> <p>We further discuss evil, sin, and how we always wrestle with sin; we can’t just will ourselves not to experience these challenges. God is asking us to return continuously to God. We chat about the Good News, and how we proclaim it to all people. We discuss loving all people, and God’s commandment to love our neighbor (Matthew 22:36-40). We finally turn to what the dignity of every human being means, and how that affects our journey towards justice.</p> <p><strong>Reflection Questions</strong></p> <p>What does it mean to live a Christian life?</p> <p>How does one live out a Christian life?<br></p>

Why St. John's? (2.0) (Part I)
<p>This episode, we shared our stories from the churches where we grew up. We hope that it helps you think about what stands out for you at your church! All our hosts have a different experience of growing up in church; one of them even grew up here at St. John’s when they were young! Storytelling is so important for how we understand our faith, and how we begin to understand how God works in our lives and calls us into new life. </p> <p>Join us next time for some more about St. John’s, and who we are and where we are now! If you want to learn more about our history, St. John’s has several published histories of the Parish available in the Parish Library (or from Fr. Ben or Fr. Chris).</p> <p><strong>Reflection Question:</strong></p> <p>What are some memories from your childhood church? Or, if you didn’t grow up in the church, what do you recall from one of the first times you went to a church?</p>
