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.

Mondays, 10:30 – 12p | Church Nursery Room 114 Low structure play group for parents to socialize in our church nursery. Bible Discussion Group Mondays, 6:30-7:30p | Zoom Monday Night Bible Study Discussions restart on Monday, March 7 at 6:30 pm. We have made our way slowly through the Old Testament and we will begin anew by having a couple of discussions on what is known as the “Intertestamental Period.” This period roughly corresponds to the time between the last Old Testament book written and the birth of Jesus. We do not always pay much attention to this period, yet there is plenty to discuss about the events in Israel that helps our own spiritual discernment. After these discussions we will dive into the world of the gospels. Our format is to have short, manageable readings (often we read selections together instead of beforehand) and discuss what is going on in the text, in the time period, in the social world, in religious practices, how we think about these issues today, what does it all mean for us now, etc. No need to sign up, just show up, and join us in lively discussions (bonus! I’m getting better at including visual aids). Invite a friend to accompany you when they can and join us for the hard questions, quirky comments, and fun fellowship.
