Welcome

Welcome! This will be our blog for the Following Jesus 101 experience. It will provide opportunity for us to continue to communicate and reflect together in between our sessions. I will try to post notes from our previous meeting in a timely fashion. I also hope to add some additional resources and reflections that flow forth from the questions and paths we pursue when we are together. There is a place for you to add your own comments and input. With the Spirit's inspiration, we can foster a lively and fruitful dialogue!
The original announcements for Following Jesus 101 included this description:
"Jesus beckons all his would-be disicples, "Follow me." It is "on the way" that their lives are transformed, that they experience the first fruits of God's salvation, that a new community is given birth. It is in our discipleship together that we discover what Jesus means when he says, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never be hungry, whoever bleieves in me will never be thirsty."
On this common path, we will encounter the Jesus of the gospels, speaking to us individually and together. We will consider the shape and substance that our life with Jesus takes. We will have the opportunity to raise questions, explore decisions of faith, and consider simple spiritual disciplines that will enhance our daily lives.
