Come and Join one of our Small Groups!
Participating in small groups gives us a chance to develop relationships with other people as we learn more about the Christian faith and how we live our faith on a day-by-day basis. These groups are a safe place to ask questions, share our thoughts, and simply be who we are joined with others who are on this journey of faith. We would love to have you join us and share you views.
October Book Study
Freeing Jesus By: Diana Butler Bass
October 14th, 21st, & 28th 7p.m. in Memorial Hall
How can you still be a Christian?
This is the most common question Diana Butler Bass is asked today. It is a question that many believers ponder as they wrestle with disappointment and disillusionment in their church and its leadership. But while many Christians have left their churches, they cannot leave their faith behind.
In Freeing Jesus, Bass challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static, one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through life’s challenges in several capacities: as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence.
Freeing Jesus is an invitation to leave the religious wars behind and rediscover Jesus in all his many manifestations, to experience Jesus beyond the narrow confines we have built around him. It renews our hope in faith and worship at a time when we need it most.
