Something profound happens when we study, ask questions, serve and wonder aloud with others. There's more insight, wisdom, experience around the circle then we usually have in our individual life. When we connect with each other on a deeper level, the growth and life change that results is powerful. We serve our community together. We care for each other.
ALL groups are drop-in friendly. Check out the dynamics and content of the group free of commitment or RSVP.

Whether you have been reading the Bible for a long time or if you are a newcomer, Rob Bell offers an array of insights into how we approach this amazing library. There will be plenty of inspiration and controversy to discuss with Bell’s keen eye and sense of humor. Together with Bell’s assistance, we will pull back the curtain of what was going on when the stories were written and how we can use that information to inform our own spiritual journey today. If you want a new way to read the Bible, this is the discussion group for you. In Bell’s own words: This is a book about a library of books dealing with loss and anger and transcendence and worry and empire and money and fear and stress and joy and doubt and grace and healing, and who doesn’t want to talk about those? (Bell, What Is the Bible? p. 4). Pop in for a session or two, or stay with us all eight weeks. Feel free to extend the invitation to a friend or neighbor.
