Ministry Leaders Groups

Sure. You read it every week. Maybe? Hopefully every day? But how might reading the Bible together with other colleagues who are in ministry settings help enrich your lens, and maybe, how you teach and preach about this text? Like most things at Peterson House, this is simple and all you need to do is sign up and show up. We will gather together in a group of no more than 12 people and see how the Bible can inspire us and the ministry we do committed to the kingdom work in different places.

We want to create space to help tend to the ministry leaders soul care where they can be served/have the text washed over them in order to care for those they have been called to love. We are committed to creating contemplative space for these ministry leaders where alongside others, in unhurried delight, the Sprit of Truth empowers them to serve faithfully.

(Our in person ministry leaders group will include a simple meal.)

Winter/Spring 2025 Groups

Have you ever paused to notice that the Bible begins in a garden and ends in a garden? In the midst of God's creative forming and shaping of the earth and living creatures in Genesis, God's creative work takes on the form of a Master Gardener who plants a garden. "And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed," Genesis 2:8. If you turn to the last chapter of the last book in our Scriptures, in John's Revelation, his vision ends with a river flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb beside which the Tree of Life grows, the same that was planted in the Garden of Eden, providing crops and healing in it's leaves for the nations. Our Scriptures start in a garden and end in a garden, and in between these pages gardens and garden imagery abound throughout the rest of Scripture.

In our Peterson House Groups this Winter/Spring, we will be exploring the theme of "In the Garden" as we walk through passages that are either set in a garden, from the Garden of Eden to the Garden of Gethsemane, as well as passages that use the image of a garden to speak to us about our own lives and our life with God. Please join us as we spend some unhurried space "In the Garden."

All groups begin the week of January 20 with our Tuesday in person groups starting on 1/21 and our Thursday virtual groups on 1/23. All groups will meet over a total of 9 sessions wrapping up the week of May 19.
