TABLE OF CONTENTS LIvING THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE 1 INSTRUCTIONS This document is the second installment of the Apprentice study. It begins with Session 12 which covers chapter 1 of The Good and Beautiful Life. This study also includes a Silent Retreat and a Closing Retreat. As the leader of the group, you will need to make arrangements for both of these retreats. Review the schedules for the retreats and make plans accordingly. At the completion of The Good and Beautiful Life your group could continue the study by reading the third and final book in the series, The Good and Beautiful Community, and doing the study. Ho w t o Us e tH i s Le a d e r GU i d e This Guide combines the Small Group guide Appendix in the book with additional questions and activities for leading the group through each session. Some questions and suggested activities from the Small Group Guide have been omitted or expanded to enhance the experience when the group has a leader—like you! You will need only one copy of this Leader Guide to use in class. Occasionally you will have to make copies of handouts for the class. They immediately follow the session or are part of the supporting materials listed on the home page and in the Table of Contents. To help make each Guide more useful and readable, headings are printed in Caps/Small Caps, instructions are in a regular font, and any part that should be read to the group is in italics. visit www.apprenticeofjesus.org for more information and resources.

INSTRUCTIONS & STUDY SCHEDULE LIvING THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE 2 CHAPTER 1, SESSION 12: THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE CH a p t e r CH a ll e n G e Thus we begin book two of the Apprentice Series. Unlike many studies, books one and two have always existed as one continuous study. However, in The Good and Beautiful Life the focus turns specifically to the Sermon on the Mount and the teachings of Jesus. The implication is that as we have come to know the Good and Beautiful God, we will naturally begin to live a Good and Beautiful Life just as Jesus did. It will be most helpful to the group if they remain aware of what they learned in The Good and Beautiful God, and allow that knowledge to inform their reading and discussion of The Good and Beautiful Life. As the leader of the group, invite the participants to name correlations they see between both books. sU p p L i e s j Butcher paper taped to the wall of the classroom j Markers for writing on the paper (make sure the markers won’t bleed through the paper and ruin the wall) we lc o m e If you have used the suggested schedule for meetings, your group is coming together for the first time in a few weeks. As folks enter, encourage a time of conversation about how everyone is doing. Allow sufficient time for everyone to become reconnected. re C i t e Co L o s s i a n s 3:1-17 to G e t H e r Throughout the remainder of the class, Colossians 3:1-17 will be recited from memory to help center participants for the silence, as well as helping to reinforce the passage in everyone’s memory. 5 mi n U t e s o f si L e n C e pr a y e r t o en d t H e si L e n C e God of all life, we give you thanks for the chance to come back together. We give you thanks for the sense of community that you have built among us as we have grown as your Apprentices. We ask for the grace to persevere together as we continue this study. We ask that you grant us patience to keep “pickling” in your good news. May we come to know the fullness of life you revealed in your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Master Teacher. Amen. Ge t t i n G Ba C k i n t o t H e Gr o o v e After taking a few weeks off, it can be difficult for some people to return to the class with the same level of commitment they had during the fall session of Apprentice. Remind the group of their commitment to the class and how necessary that commitment is to the on-going power of this experience. If necessary, review the suggested weekly schedule so participants can again consider how they will organize their schedules to follow through on the class. Allow this to be a compassionate encouragement to your class. so ul -tr a i n i n G [15 minutes] If you are in a group of six or more people, divide into small groups of three or four. Have anyone who is comfortable share their letter, the soul-training exercise for chapter 1. After they have shared, consider these questions: 1. What spoke to you as others in your group shared their letters? session 12 LIvING THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE 3 2. What insights did you gain as you wrote your own letter? 3. What, if anything, did you learn about God or yourself through the exercise? en G a G i n G t H e CH a p t e r [30 minutes] THE primary focus of THIS CHAPTER is that all humans desire happiness, but not all narratives lead to happiness. The narratives of Jesus are the best guide to a good and beautiful life. Read through the following questions before you begin discussion. Note any questions you especially want to discuss.

All Rights Reserved. North Philadelphia’s Francisville Groups: The Belltones, Thrillers, Royal Demons and Madison Brothers by Charlie Horner with Contributions from Pamela Horner While North Philadelphia produced numerous R&B vocal groups during the 1950’s including the Dreamers, Uni- versals, Dreamlovers, Revels, Buccaneers, Marquees, Blue Notes and Tymes, North Philly was a collection of neighbor- hoods. Each neighborhood had its own churches, schools, recreation centers, clubs and even vocal groups. In the heart of North Philadelphia, there’s an area around 17th Street and Ridge Avenue, stretching from Fair- mount Avenue to Girard Avenue, between Broad Street and Corinthian Avenue, which has long been known as Francis- ville. Only six blocks from center city, Francisville was once the vineyards of William Penn but in more recent times has been a hub of African American culture. At a time before Philadelphia completed the Schuylkill Expressway in 1959, Ridge Avenue was a busy commercial street, lined with stores and small shops. It had been a thoroughfare leading from the northwest suburbs through Philadelphia to the Ben Franklin Bridge to New Jersey. Francistown had an active entertainment scene, most notably Lou Church’s Blue Note, a large 400+ capacity jazz club at 15th & Ridge that during the 1950’s hosted such notable artists as Cannonball Adderly, Art Blakey, Miles Davis and Charles Mingus.

    NEWS VOL. 35 • NUMBER 1 • DECEMBER 2017 The Unfolding of Centering Prayer he essence and heart of Centering Prayer is consenting to God’s presence T and action within. It leads to contemplation and its continuing development. The following qualities reveal how this consent deepens through daily practice. 1. Silence arises in consenting to God’s presence within. External silence supports this movement and leads to interior silence. 2. Solitude flows from interior silence. It disregards the endless conversation Thomas Keating we have with ourselves and rests in the experience of God’s presence. 3. Solidarity is the growing awareness of our oneness with the whole human family and with all creation. It is sensitive to the ever-present inspirations of the Spirit, not only during the time of formal prayer, but in the details of everyday life. 4. Service is an expression of solidarity that is an inner call to serve God and others based on the realization that God is loving and serving them through us. In other words, God in us is serving God in others. 5. Stillness is what Jesus called “prayer in secret” (Matt. 6:6). This is the experience of God’s presence beyond rational concepts and preoccupation with our thoughts and desires. Interior silence tends to move into solitude and then into stillness. Stillness is the habitat of contemplative prayer. As Saint John of the Cross teaches, contemplation is the inflowing of God into our souls, and in the Christian tradition, is looked upon as pure gift. In actual fact, it is a gift that has already been given.

Early on that first Easter Sunday morning, the followers of Jesus were devastated and hidden away, fearful of what lay ahead. All their hopes for a wonderful future seemed shattered because Jesus, their master and teacher from God, in whom they had put their faith and their hope, whom they had loved and followed, was now dead. Early that morning, the disciples Peter & John were together when suddenly Mary Magdalene arrived shouting that someone had moved Jesus’ body, but she didn’t know where. Peter and John immediately ran to the tomb and there they found the folded grave clothes where the Jesus’ body should have been.

  • Taylor Dayne - Biography
    Taylor Dayne - Biography With confidence maturity and an indisputably amazing voice, Taylor Dayne stands out as one of music’s most dynamic artists. Her versatile and powerful voice has gained recognition in multiple genres from pop, dance and rock to adult contemporary. Taylor Dayne’s unique vocal style has earned her 3 successful albums including the double platinum albums “Tell It To My Heart” and “Can’t Fight Fate” as well as the gold “Soul Dancing”, She has sold-out 2 world tours, been honored with 3 Grammy nominations and has gone on to successfully explore numerous film, tv and stage roles as well as a high-profile stint on Broadway. Dayne (born Leslie Wunderman) hails from New York where she grew up surrounded by music. “As an artist I feel I can step into anything because I’ve been influenced by everything.” By the time Taylor graduated from high school she already joined her first band , “Felony”. Hitting the New York club’s like CBGB’s, the Bottom Line, and Trax by night and studying music theory and composition in college by day, she honed both her vocal prowess and her dramatic presence. Taylor also received classical training from Maestro Carelli, Master at the Manhattan School of Music. In 1985 she joined the new Wave band “The Next” but soon realized that she could best pursue her musical calling as a solo artist. It was at this time that Taylor met up and coming producer Rick Wake and together they recorded and produced 2 dance singles under the name Leslee --“Tell Me Can You Love Me” and “I’m The One That You Want” In 1987, Dayne and Wake recorded the single “Tell It To My Heart” which led to her first major label deal with Arista Records.
