Lenten Study Group - All the Families of the Earth
|
Inspired by God’s called to Abraham and Sarah to leave their home and begin a journey in which “all the families of the Earth shall be blessed”, this Lenten Study Group is learning about the historical context and present day relationships between the children of Abraham and Sarah.
On Saturday, March 17, you are invited to join the study group on a journey to the Plum Street Temple in Cincinnati for a Bar Mitzvah Service. We will gather at the Memorial Church facility to carpool and leave at 9:15 a.m. After observing the Bar Mitzvah, we will have the wonderful opportunity to engage in a conversation with the Rabbi.
To plan transportation needs, please contact Pastor Lawrence if you are interested in this journey.
Please feel free to bring a friend…
OPC membership is certainly not a prerequisite!

Live Into Hope
God wills, comprehensively, our well-being – not just my well-being as an individual but the well-being of all of us and of the whole of creation. In short, God wills our salvation, our healing, here on earth. The Christian life is about participating in the salvation of God.
