Personal — Passionate — Progressive
Wed, 3/3: Join Us for Jesus on Tap at La Madeleine!
For details about J on T: See "Progressive-Our Outreach" on our menu bar. SERIES: VOCATIONS. So many of us have built a career. What, however, is our life's calling? Is it reflected through our career? Is it more than our career? Is it other than our career? Can one have a calling without a career? Through food & food-for-thought, we listen to and engage a BPC member and her/his call journey.
WHEN & WHERE: Wednesday, March 3, 6:30 (supper) & 7:30ish (program), the Fireside Room at La Madeleine French Bakery & Cafe (Old Georgetown @ Woodmont). PARKING: Free at Lot 49 across the street! Simply validate ticket at the restaurant.
PRESENTER: Joan Kloepfer. Joan is employed by the Heinrich Boll Foundation (named after the late Nobel laureate for Literature). How does she consider her work there a reflection of her life's calling?
BOOK (optional): For this J on T and the next two, you are encouraged -- but certainly not required -- to purchase and bring with you a powerful little book by Quaker educator Parker J. Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation (Jossey-Bass, 2000). We'll discuss the first two chapters on Wednesday, ca. 7:20-7:40p.
Hope to see you then! Invite a friend ... & pass the word!

This Sunday at BPC (2/12)
... at our 11 am Worship, we conclude a three-Sunday focus, "Our Healing Church", with the healing of two lepers: Naaman the Aramean warrior in 2 Kings 5 and an unnamed gentleman in Mark 1. The two-way flow of God's compassion signified by the phrase "healing church" -- the church spreads healing *and* is itself healed -- will be featured in the message, "The River of Healing: From 'Them' to Us". Click here for our colorful bulletin.
Art work on our Sanctuary Big Screen again will "signpost" the sermon -- as well as the Prelude at 10:50, an abbreviated version of an African-American History Month celebration featuring music by Sweet Honey in the Rock and Mahalia Jackson. This special month will also be celebrated in our hymns and other music this Sunday.
Oh, and don't forget our new-and-improved Valentine's Day quiz following Worship, in the Fellowship Hall! Hope to see you Sunday.

This Sunday at BPC (2/5) ...
A Lieutenant's Healing Journey! In keeping with Our Healing Church three-part series and the second of three successive healing stories from Mark 1, Marine Lt. James Byerly, who lost both his legs in an IED explosion during combat operations in Afghanistan, will join us in sharing a bit about his healing journey -- with a challenge to our church to be wounded healers, as well. Several of us have met James in his visits to our congregation, as he nears the end of a year-long recuperation at Walter Reed.
Visuals Galore this Sunday! In honor of African-American Month, I invite all to come to the Sanctuary a little early -- 10:45a -- to enjoy a Big Screen slide/song extravaganza celebrating our civil rights pioneers! Featured: Mahalia Jackson ("Precious Lord"), Sweet Honey in the Rock ("Where Are the Keys to the Kingdom?"), speech excerpts from Martin Luther King, Jr. Also, for the very first time, the sermon -- "Action Into Faith" -- will be highlighted by Big Screen visuals.
Sunday's Bulletin is attached. The first sermon of our three-part Our Healing Church series, "Jesus the Healer: A Threat to Order?", can be found here -- along with so much else through our website.
Our Healing Church: a deliberate double entendre. May our discipleship always prove such a two-way street. Come along for the journey!
