Al-Anon Family Group of Keller

Al-Anon Family Group of Keller

Al-Anon Family Group of Keller meets at 5:30 pm on Sundays in the large parish hall. This fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics share their experience, strength and hope to solve their common problems.

Al-Anon Family Groups believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery. Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution; does not engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.

Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic. Al-Anon Family Groups meet in most North American communities.

You can find out more about what to expect at an Al-Anon meeting here. For more information, please contact Evie Larimore at 817-980-6593.

Lectionary Study

Lectionary Study

Please join us for the small group lectionary study taking place on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am in the library.

We use the ancient practice of Lectio Divina to enter into the Word. Lectio Divina invites us to meditate on Scripture – to “sit with it” for a while – as a way of delving more deeply into God’s Word. Each week, we will read and ponder the Lectionary for the upcoming Sunday. As we experience Sunday worship, we will hear the Lectionary that has been percolating in our minds for a week. We may recognize connecting themes among the Collect, the hymns, and the homily. Each of these can inform our understanding of the Word we have been engaged with throughout the week.

No preparation is required in advance of our meetings. We meet in person in the library, which is located in the northeast corner of the large parish hall.

This is a great way to learn about the Scripture readings for the upcoming Sunday. We have a good bit of fun imagining sermon titles. If you’d like to join the class, please drop in! For more information, email  lesliemossschulz@gmail.com or alan.bentrup@stmartininthefields.org. We’d love to hear from you!

You can find weekly lectionary readings online at lectionarypage.net.

Choir Practice

Choir Practice

Get Involved!

Bob Duquesnel, our choir director, and the current members of the choir would like to extend an invitation to anyone who would like to sing with us in the loft on Sundays at the 10:30 am service. We’ve made room for about 20 singers to supplement the joyful music the congregation makes, singing of our Salvation and giving glory in gratitude to God!

We meet at 9:30 am each Sunday and review that day’s music as well as things we’ll sing on future Sundays. No other rehearsal night is planned but we will have some optional after service workshops for whatever needs arise. These will vary depending on the parish calendar and are intended to help you if you desire to develop your talents.

Please don’t feel obligated if your life only allows intermittent attendance. Just know that in all our parish’s music we experience divine intervention at the intersection of heaven and earth!

For more information, please contact bob.duquesnel@stmartininthefields.org.

Registration isn’t required, but it sure helps us keep track of everyone!
