2023-2024 Horizons Bible Study
Sacred Encounters: The Power and Presence of Jesus Christ in Luke-Acts
By Olive Mahabir
Within the pages of this study, Olive Mahabir invites you to consider Jesus and Jesus’ disciples who shared the Good News through sacred encounters with everyday people. The Gospel According to Luke and the book of the Acts of the Apostles, or Luke-Acts, “one story in two parts,” demonstrate the unfolding of God’s redemptive purposes in human history and present a distinctive perspective on the person and work of Jesus Christ. Written by Luke, a physician and traveling companion of Paul, the message to the early Christian community (and to us) is radical, inclusive, and hope-filled.

Fellowship of the Least Coin
(Donation collected at each circle meeting)
This is a worldwide ecumenical movement of prayer for peace and reconciliation conducted by United Church Women. PW circles support this on an individual basis. Our yearly collection is sent to our PW Presbytery Treasurer and then to the national office for worldwide grants.
The prayer: O Loving Creator, we present ourselves in your divine presence to thank you for all the bountiful gifts of life. We are especially grateful for the Fellowship of the Least Coin which binds us together in love and forgiveness around the globe. Free us from all doubts and prejudices, we pray. Inspire us to live in solidarity with humankind that we may know the joy of giving and receiving. Dear God, accept this least coin “token of love.” Make us mindful of the miracles of these coins. Let us honor your creation with love as shown through the life and resurrection of your son, Jesus the Christ, Amen.
