The Koinonia Team: Has put together a series of events to promote discussion of important issues related to race and community within the body of Christ and the larger Princeton community. Our final event of the summer focuses on a sociological study of how the church in North America has remained largely segregated. This is an important book for us to wrestle with. God has already made Stone Hill a diverse congregation. We want to see our fellowship grow in unity even as we express the beauty of the diversity in our midst. The book discussion of Divided by Faith by Christian Smith and Michael O. Emerson will be held in the church Library on Saturday, August 25 at 10 a.m. Please read more about this book and other Reader’s Reviews on https://stonehillprinceton.org/announcement-category/readers-reviews or on our Stone Hill Church App.
Prayer Team Members: Each Sunday we have Prayer Teams who pray personally for people after each service. We are looking for new people to join our Prayer Teams. An ideal Prayer Team member is passionate about prayer and about praying for and with others. Once trained, you can schedule your prayer team commitment in a way that corresponds to your availability. Also, we are encouraging all present Prayer Team Members to come to the training as well in order to meet prospective new team members and for a refresher. We will have Prayer Team Training at 9:30 a.m. or 11:10 a.m. on Sunday, September 23. Please choose one of the sessions. Please RSVP by emailing Lara Holt at larah@stonehillprinceton.org.
