Learning to Belong, by Rev. John van de Laar, is a 28-part devotion series, published by Sacredise Publishing, Capetown, South Africa – sacredise.com.  Permission has been granted from Sacredise to Grace Lutheran Church to use the devotional on our web site.  The devotional was first used and discussed within Grace by SALT (Seek, Abide, Love, Trust Prayer and Adult Education Ministry), and it is now very highly recommended to all at Grace.  The four main practices of Learning to Belong are the choice to gather, the call to worship, invoking God’s presence, and greeting one another, with seven sessions for each topic.  We will journey through one session per week.  We hope you enjoy the deep insight and rich stories from another part of the globe, in exploring how these four, simple, interrelated acts “can show us how to find our place and help one another to be at home in the world”.   Enjoy your time with Learning to Belong in these wonderful devotions!
