"Follow Me" Matthew 4:19

New series of Sunday talks based on Spiritual Growth tasks

When Jesus knew the time was right to begin His public ministry, He invited a small set of people to "Follow Me." He invited them to "Do as I do." They became His disciples ("students") and then eventually His apostles ("sent out"). They were His small group.

For the coming 7 Sundays, I invite you, dear reader, to join me in practicing seven ways of following the Lord and doing as He did. Each of these is from the deck of "52 Spiritual Growth Tasks." Additional information about each is also available on the Spiritual Growth Foundation website (choosejoynow.org)

"FOLLOW ME" series

Jan 24 - Live in the present (task #8)

Jan 31 - Let worry go (task #23)

Feb 7 - Accept what is (task #25)

Feb 14 - Take initiative (task #30)

Feb 21 - Give up suffering (task #32)

Feb 28 - Enter heaven (task #42)

Mar 7 - Keep going (task #49)

Join me in a new small group on Wednesdays at 2 pm (Zoom)

As part of this Sunday series, I invite you to share your experience of practicing each task in a small group (through Zoom) each Wednesday at 2 pm. I find these small groups both centering and invigorating. I look forward to them and invite you to consider participating.

In spite of not being together in person physically, I find these opportunities to be together "virtually" very enriching and satisfying.

Some good news about our technology

Screen shot of You Tube "test" for Sunrise Chapel Livestream

First of all, thank you for your understanding regarding the technology meltdown last weekend

After another steep learning curve this week, our livestream on You Tube is back up and running. One of the keys to success seems to have been a certain setting on the camera which needed to be changed.

Secondly, I want to give a shout out to several people who were especially patient and helpful during the technology snafus on Saturday and Sunday

These days I need two volunteers helping with the livestream - someone managing the sound and another person managing the camera. THANK YOU to Dave S. and Maria M. for your steadfast help. These two are in their positions almost every Sunday. It has been a team effort, and I appreciate their devotion.

Now here's a question for you folks who do tune in to our You Tube broadcasts...

What do you notice about the speed of the camera motion and positions?

In other words, someone recently mentioned that she didn't like the fact that the camera movement to each new view seemed "jerky". So I reset the camera software to slow down the movements from one preset to another. Voila!

Now that I made that change, which speed do you prefer? And why?

Let me know by email at nathan@sunrisechapel.org or by text or phone 520-820-5148

Thanks for your input and help as we continue to learn and adjust and improve,

Nathan
