Bible Study For Today
This Tuesday, February 11, 6:30 p.m. Tacos; 7:00-8:30 p.m.— Board Room
Join me, Rev. Jude as we move to the New Testament to study the Gospel of Mark. Mark is the shortest of the four gospels and the earliest written, and is surprising in so many ways! Since Tuesdays are Taco Tuesdays, and since Bible Study requires nourishment, Tacos will accompany our Bible Study!

Why Do We Worship The Way We Do?
Next Sunday, February 16, after both services, led by Jude+
Do you ever wonder why some cross themselves, or kneel, or sit or stand during worship? Do you ever wonder why the service is organized the way it is or why certain people say certain things? Do you wonder what happened to using the prayer book and the hymnal? Or, more importantly, are you curious about how the theology of worship has shifted over the last 30 years? Come along to Jude+'s meetings to find out!
