| 04/11/11 | Literature, Prayer, and “The World” by Dan Hintz |
If C.S. Lewis is right, if we read so that we know we are not alone. Perhaps the world will one day look at the way Christians pray and know that they are not alone. Perhaps literature can help us on that journey. |
| 04/04/11 | Visio Divina by Anita Sorenson |
Visio Divina invites us to see deeply, beyond first and second impressions, below initial ideas, judgments, or understandings. It invites us to be seen, addressed, surprised, and transformed by God who is never limited or tied to any image, but speaks through them. |
| 03/28/11 | Prayer with Words by Dan Hintz |
Prayer with Words The last two weeks I have written about approaching prayer with “emotional honesty,” and how to pray to the God who is seated in our own hearts. It is good to pray with such things in mind. But what about words? Doesn&... |
| 03/21/11 | Art and Emotional Honesty by Dan Hintz |
Art helped me encounter this story with emotion that I wouldn’t normally have experienced in the mere telling of it. And art helped me become honest enough with myself to express my frustration to God in prayer. |

| 02/11/11 | Repentance by Tim Dally |
I think ‘repentance’ is a big deal since Jesus seemed to think it is a big deal. Years ago in college I had to read Bonhoeffer’s The Cost of Discipleship. I have always had a copy or two around and will at times grab it off the shelf and reread something. The other day I opened it up and thumbed through some familiar words about being a disciple and the Sermon on the Mount. |
| 01/28/11 | LIVETHEVISION by Tim Dally |
We are inviting you into an adventure. We are preparing for a journey together with Jesus through this year. We want to join God in what he is up to. Let’s see if we can participate in the will of God and change the world one life at a time. Let’s get started… While I am writing that I am thinking of dominos…how people set them up and then you knock one over and there is a chain reaction…it can get quite elaborate and it all begins with one…be the one that starts something where you are! |
| 01/21/11 | Seek God Share God by Tim Dally |
Our Vision as stated should unite us, define us, direct our activities, prayers, hopes and dreams. As we find ourselves, together as a church body, in the place of “seeking” and “sharing” it is a Vision that needs to be lived. So you will see some new words around LIVETHEVISION just as a reminder for this year what it is all about. |

The next few weeks we are talking “vision” here at Pasadena Covenant. This is what you can expect: This Sunday we will look at “The Mission” of the church. The following week we will look at “The Translation” of that mission here at Pasadena Covenant Church. The last Sunday of the month we will be including the Annual Meeting with the idea of “The Revolution” Jesus brought, called “The Kingdom of God” and how we join him in this movement of grace and truth. |
