The public is invited to join Fr. Tom Seibert of St. Luke's Episcopal and Pastor Roy Trueblood of Delta United Methodist in an eight-week book study of "Unbinding the Gospel: Real Life Evangelism" by Martha Grace Reese. In her words, evangelism is faith sharing and this book is "about untying the knots that keep us from living exciting lives in the Spirit. I

t's about unbinding the good news that God adores us and everyone else, that God has shown this to us through Jesus Christ."

A study of this book is highly recommended for evangelism teams and all individuals desiring to move closer to God and to grow as Christians. The format for this study is for small groups of six to eight persons to meet once a week for seven or eight weeks and do together the exercises at the end of each chapter. In the words of the author, "The more people in your church that study the book and begin to pray seriously, the greater chance for real change in your church."

An important part of the study involves the keeping of a 40 day prayer journal designed to increase our awareness of the presence of God. Such journaling could be a discipline of Lent, the season where we prepare for Christ's death and resurrection. With this in mind, the first meeting will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25, in the annex at St. Luke's Episcopal Church at 5th and Palmer in Delta. Future meetings could be at different times and locations according tos the desires of the members of each small group. For more information or to order a book ($15) contact Fr. Tom Seibert at St. Luke's, 874-9489.
