Unleashing the Power of the Spoken Blessing

  • Prince of Peace Lutheran Church (map)

Many of us remember the words to the children’s rhyme: “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Words have the power to curse, but they also have the power to bless. Join Sherry Schumann during the Sunday school hour as she discusses the tradition of blessing. In our time together, we will discuss the importance of the spoken blessing; learn how to bless our adult children and grandchildren; and discover practical ways to make this tradition a part of our family culture. 

 

Sherry Schumann grew up in Loveland, OH and attended Prince of Peace and is now the director of the Christian Grandparenting Network. Learn more at popluther.org/grandparents.

Ellen has been doing forest therapy for years and will provide it as a service to us.

We hope you join us on Saturday afternoon, May 24th for this about 2-hour experience.  The location is near the Cincinnati Nature Center - the address will be sent to those who RSVP. S

Each person/couple brings a bottle of wine based on the theme (usually in the $10-20 range) to taste and an appetizer or dessert to share. Not a fan of wine?...come anyway! The goal is fellowship…feel free to bring another beverage of choice.

Winter Euchre Tournament: While it is cold outside, why not see if you have the hot hand and join us for a Euchre Tournament on February 22nd? Every 4th Saturday when we play we're usually unstructured and you just show up. But since this time we'll have some structure, heavy snacks, and light prizes (of course, no prize can beat bragging rights) will be on the line this time, we need you to sign-up that you are coming just this time. No partner? No problem, we'll be doing round robin style play trading both partners and opponents throughout the evening so competition is individual anyway. 

Plan to come around 6:15 on February 22nd to check in and grab some snacks and we'll start play around 6:30. 

You can use this link to sign up. You can also email Dan Mueller with questions or to sign up.

 Can't make it on February 22nd? Join us any 4th Saturday of the month for regular euchre.

 Hope to see you then!
