“I can’t imagine someone really enjoying a book and reading it only once.”
– C.S. Lewis
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 2024 Groups
Each of our groups this winter/spring will be reflecting on the same texts and our theme is, "Anxious for Nothing." Our desire is to spend time reflecting on a variety of texts in scripture where we see an individual or group of people responding to a challenge. Our focal text will be from Philippians 4, but we will reflect on other texts that can speak into this topic as well. How are they instructed? Where do they find their peace? What can we learn from their and the Lord's response in that moment? What do we notice in scripture that can encourage us at a time when levels of anxiety are at an all time high? We invite you to join us as we sit with a variety of texts and with one another where we can find both encouragement and a model for faithfulness in times where we need extra strength.
