This coming Sunday - July 28, 2013 - Tabitha Strickler will be taking Just
Coffee back to one of our favorite NOOMA studies - "Rain." She will
lead us in a casual discussion of the topic.
Bermuda Hundred's newest small group has begun! We're calling ourselves "Just Coffee" - a group meeting Sunday mornings for casual discussions of faith and fellowship.
Our first meeting will be tomorrow (July 29th) in the Fellowship Hall during Sunday School (9:45-10:45am). Everyone is welcome! We'll have a chance to discuss what we would like to get out of this small group and how we would like to grow. All suggestions are appreciated!
Tomorrow...
We will be discussing Rob Bell's first film in the Nooma series - "Rain." Tabitha will lead us in this casual discussion. Come with an open mind and an open heart!
Things don't always work out the way we want them to, or the way we think they will. Sometimes we don't even see it coming. We get hit with some form of pain out of nowhere leaving us feeling desperate and helpless. That's the way life is. Still, it makes us wonder how God can just stand by and watch us suffer. Where is God when it really hurts? Maybe God is actually closer to us than we think. Maybe it's when we're in these situations, where everything seems to be falling apart, that God gets an opportunity to remind us of how much he really loves us.
Watch the trailer for the first film that we'll watch tomorrow:
What is NOOMA?
The name NOOMA is an English phonetic spelling of the Greek word pneuma, which is commonly translated to spirit or breath. Pneumatology refers to the study of spiritual beings, particularly the interaction between humans and God.
NOOMA is a new format for spiritual direction. It is short films touching on issues that we care about an that we want to talk about. It's a format that's there for us when we need it, as we need it, how we need it. NOOMA is short films that really speak to us. Concise and to the point, 10- to 14-minute DVDs tackle topics like forgiveness, discipleship, and unconditional love, making biblical truths vivid and relevant for today's generation. They will surprise you, touch you, help you to think in new ways and spark meaningful discussion in our small group.
