The place of stillness deep within ourselves that is our home, where we can hear God's voice and be immersed in God's presence. We will practice exercises each week that will take us step by step into that place of silence.

Summer Book Club: 

Do you love to read? Once a month a small group of Mercy Streeters meet on a Thursday night to discuss the latest book and check in with one another. It is as much about connecting with others as it is about sharing our insights from the latest book. We read books across all genres. This summer join us one of the months or for all. We meet at Corner Bakery Cafe at 7pm. See dates below with the book of that Month! email Pastor Maggie  - Maggie@MercyStreet.org

June 26 - Good Soil by Jeff Chu 

July 24 - The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho 

August 21 - Tattoos on the Heart - Gregory Boyle

Thursday, July 17th 5:30pm-8:00pm

 Let's go to The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston to learn the practice of Visio divina on July 17th. Visio divina invites the viewer into "divine seeing." Visio divina shares roots with the ancient practice of lectio divina. (Lectio divina calls for a slow, careful interaction with scripture through meditation and prayer, allowing a word or phrase to rise in one's consciousness, a holy word to be savored and examined.) Similarly, visio divina invites one to encounter the divine through images. A prayerful consideration of and interaction with different mediums of art allows the viewer to experience the divine in a unique and powerful way. 

 Interested in attending? Email Pastor Maggie to let her know you can make it!

Can you sing? Play an instrument? Clap to the beat? Come to the Jam Session! We'll meet up, play through some good music, then talk about that music and how it applies to our lives. Snacks and chord charts provided.

Regardless of your skill level, if you want to make music in a supportive environment, come on out. We'll have a few stronger musicians to keep us on track, and the music will be tunes you probably know - a mix of popular music, folk songs, and hymn tunes. Look at the QR code for what songs we're thinking of.
If you would like to practice ahead of time (you don't have to!) get the JustChords app. It's free and will let you look up charts for songs and transpose them as needed for your instrument.

I Want to Trust You, but I Don’t: Moving Forward When You’re Skeptical of Others, Afraid of What God Will Allow, and Doubtful of Your Own Discernment.

Lysa TerKeurst (author) shows you what to do with your skepticism and distrust so you can heal from past betrayals and move forward with strength and resilience. Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it's also what trips you up after you've been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A leader or organization you respect turns out to be different than they portray themselves to be. A spouse cheats on you. A family member betrays you. You're exhausted by other people's choices and starting to question your own discernment. And you're wondering, If God let this happen, can he even be trusted?

How can you live well and step into the future when you keep stumbling over trust issues? 

Tuesdays 6:30 – 8pm for 6 weeks:
June 3  Courtyard Room (next door to Fireside Room)
June 10, 17, 24, July 1, 8 (these 5 sessions will be back in the Fireside Room)

Please contact: Robin Martin by email robindmartin1952@yahoo.com or text to 713 498 7803 to reserve your free copy of the hardback journal/book and to let us know if you will be a part of the study from home or in person. Or let me know when you are at Mercy Street.

We need your support to provide a worship service and hot meal to those in need.
