You've Got Mail!  A look at the Apostle Paul and the many letters that he wrote.  Next to Jesus, Paul is one of the most influential people in the Bible, reminding his church family over and over to remember who they are in Christ- chosen, loved, forgiven and free.  Join Pastor Linda as we open up these letters!

A minister, an atheist and a few other people walk into a bar... The minister says, "Drinking is against God's will for you!"  The atheist responds, "He forgot to tell that to Jesus..."  So begins a conversation... People have been gathering in pubs and public spaces for ages, talking about life, philosophy, faith and deep questions of meaning.  COME! Bring your questions, your curiosity, and pull up a chair.

A grief support group for school-aged kids (5-18 years old), where they can learn about death, grief, and remembering their loved one, while forming a community of support with other kids who have experienced the death of someone they love. While the kids & teens have their session, parents/guardians gather for their own support. Free, but preregistration is required.

Trevor Noah's unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa's tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.
