Inspiration – we may refer to this by different names. It is
God’s call for us to continue growing in our faith and for our faith
to be active in love.
For those new to faith or Grace or wondering where to get started,
twice a year Grace has a Discipleship and Ministry
class for those joining Grace and especially those new to
Lutheranism. This is also an opportunity for members to explore the
essence of faith and one's calling.

VIA
DE CRISTO
Via de Cristo is a three-day experience of the grace of God.
Through talks, most of which are given by lay people, experiences,
and the spiritual guidance of pastors, those attending are given an
opportunity to experience and reflect upon all that God is and does
for us. Visit the northern Wisconsin Via de Cristo webpage at
www.winorthernlightvdc.com for dates of upcoming weekends and
application forms.
GROUPING
AND ULTREYAS
Grouping and Ultreyas are
ongoing opportunities for people to reflect upon their Christian
life and calling on a monthly and quarterly basis. These are led by
people who have gone through a Via de Cristo weekend.

PURPOSE
DRIVEN LIFE
Purpose Driven Life is
a popular book and class by Rick Warren. The book and
experience is much better when done as a group. Grace has a
group each Lent and other times as requested.
LIFE
OF THE BELOVED
Life of the Beloved is a book by Henri Nouwen, and Grace has a
video on his presentation. It leads participants into simple
disciplines that make our relationship with Jesus more alive and
accessible.
CHRIST
IN OUR HOME
Christ in Our Home is a daily devotional booklet available
at Grace. The devotion and the Scripture readings are a way to
prepare and meditate on the assigned readings for Sunday. This
comes out quarterly. Pick up a copy in the Gathering space or
