Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

We continue our Lenten sermon series on the Final Week of Jesus' ministry. Today we will focus on one who loved Jesus and one who would betray him. It is now Wednesday, March 28, A.D. 33. The disciples and Jesus spent the night in Bethany and wake in the home of Simon.
But before we talk about that, we will start with the discussions of the religious leaders in Jerusalem.

En Agape',
Rev. Michael Weeks

New Sunday School Book Study
led by Julie Peterman


T he Sunday School class that meets in the Conference Room will be reading and discussing
Sitting At The Feet Of Rabbi Jesus: How the Jewishness of Jesus Can Transform Your Faith 
beginning April 15 and lasting for eight weeks. Anyone is welcome to join the group. 
Books can be purchased from Amazon (used copies available at a reduced price + shipping as well) or from other online retailers like Lifeway, Cokesbury, and Barnes & Noble. If anyone would like me to pick up  their book, please  contact me
by April 1. 


 
"Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus: How the Jewishness of Jesus Can Transform Your Faith takes you on a fascinating tour of the Jewish world of Jesus, offering inspirational insights that can transform your faith. Ann Spangler and Lois Tverberg paint powerful scenes from Jesus' ministry, immersing you in the prayers, feasts, history, culture, and customs that shaped Jesus and those who followed him.You will hear the parables as they must have sounded to first-century Jews, powerful and surprising. You will join the conversations that were already going on among the rabbis of his day. You will watch with new understanding as the events of his life unfold. And you will emerge with new excitement about the roots of your own Christian faith. Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus will change the way you read Scripture and deepen your understanding of the life of Jesus. It will also help you to adapt the rich prayers and customs you learn about to your own life, in ways that both respect and enrich your Christian faith."
