Book study: Mere Christianity, by C. S. Lewis. This is a six week overview, led by Rev. Stephen Carl. Mere Christianity is Lewis’ broad sweeping apologetics for the Christian faith, based on reason and logical arguments. Mere Christianity began as radio talks Lewis gave during WW2 on three primary subjects: 1) Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe; 2) What Christians Believe; and 3) Christian Behavior. Reading the book will be beneficial, but shouldn't keep you from participation in the class. Starts January 11 and concludes February 15.

Save the planet, one cup at a time: Bring a coffee mug from home to keep at the church. There is a cupboard in the kitchen where you can keep your mug; when you are finished using it, just place it in the rack by the dishwasher to be washed for use the next Sunday. Save on waste, save on cost, and feel more at home while at church.
Adult classes and small groups present a variety of topics and
styles covering areas such as Bible study, discipleship
and Christian living, life transitions, Christian theologians
and contemporary issues. We encourage open-minded discussion,
reflection, prayer and disciplines to establish habits of
life-long learning, discernment and action as Christians
challenged to be faithful and Christ-centered in the
world.
You are welcome to join our planning meetings
on the second Monday of the month at 7 PM. |
