Feel free to move throughout the sanctuary, take a walk outdoors, or find your way to a side room. 11:00AM-12:00PM Prayerwalking You may continue in a time of personal reflection or join in one of these 2 options: A. Prayerwalking within the church building. Pray for God’s will to be done in our church and it’s ministries. Meet at the front of the sanctuary at 11AM for brief instructions, and to form a group of 2 or 3. B. Prayerwalking the neighbourhood. Pray for the people and God’s kingdom to come in the place. Meet in the foyer at 11AM for brief instructions, and to pair up with 1 or 2 others. "Prayer is not only about us getting through to God. Prayer is about God getting through to us so that we can discover his fatherly love for us. Although there are 72 names for God in the Old Testament, and several more in the New Testament, every time Jesus addresses God, he calls him "Father." —J.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • 2018 Lent Devo.Pub
    Welcome Welcome to the Kaleo Academy Lent Devotional. This devotional’s contributors include our KA students, KA mentors, KA peer leaders (college students), KA, staff and KA teachers. This devotional is three-fold: 1. To prepare our hearts for the celebration of Easter. Some people may be wondering why we are observing Lent since we aren’t from a liturgical tradition. In my opinion, that’s not what Lent is about. From the beginning of Lent (130-200 A.D.) the purpose has been for self-examination with repentance through the element of self-denial in preparation for Easter. Whew! Too many BIG words in that last sentence. In other words, sometimes self-denial gives us the space we need for removing obstacles to allow the Holy Spirit to look into our hearts and move us towards celebrating our Risen Lord! This is the space we are inviting you into through the 40-day devotional. 2. To draw the Friends Movement together. This devotional is being sent out to at least 5 national evangelical Friends regions, and 2 international regions which represent our participating students & churches from the 2017-2018 KA cohort. From the examples written in Acts chapters 2 & 4, we learn when God’s people gather together as one, God’s spirit is present. My desire in creating the KA devotional is in the 40 days of lent, many of those connected to the Friends Movement could be “ on the same page” – LITERALLY – for 40 days. 3. Kaleo Academy is beyond a one-week Theology Camp experience. In our church world we are used to “ one and done” events.

  • The Parable of the Prodigal Son
    Helmut Thielicke, The Waiting Father, trans. J.W. Doberstein (New York: Harper & Row, 1959) The Parable of the Prodigal Son PART ONE And he said, "There was a man who had two sons; and the younger of them said to his father, `Father, give me the share of property that falls to me.' And he divided his living between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took his journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in loose living. And when he had spent everything, a great famine arose in that country, and he began to be in want. So he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have fed on the pods that the swine ate; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, `How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired servants."' And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, `Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his servants, `Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to make merry." -LUKE 15:11-24 Several years ago I once set my little son down in front of a large mirror.
