Women's Bible/Book Study

Tuesday, March 18 Noon to 1:30pm in Parish Hall Classroom

Our Women's Bible/Book Study group continues the study of The Message of Jesus, by Adam Hamilton. In this six-week series, pastor and author Adam Hamilton, explores 6 of the most important themes in Jesus's teachings; why they matter and how they speak to us, today. It explores his teaching on the Kingdom of God, The Sermon on the Mount, the Parables, the "I Am" sayings from John's gospel and more. So often our attention is placed on the miracles, death and resurrection of Jesus. But, it is his message that gives his actions their meaning. Maybe we can renew our wonder at Jesus's words. While "the Kingdom of God" is not mentioned in the Old Testament, as such, it was the central focus of the message of Jesus of Nazareth. Lent is a 40 day time of self-examination. It is our prayer that this study will help us to do just that for the next 40 days. We meet the first and third Tuesdays of the month from noon to 1:30 p.m. It would be a good time to bring your lunch and join us.... Sincerely, Sally

Sunday Adult Education

9:15am - Parish Hall Classroom

We will continue to explore the content within Surprised by Hope, written by N. T. Wright, about Christian assumptions about the afterlife, the resurrection, and the mission of the church. No book required.

Chores & Chow Date!

Calling all who would like to help with some spring cleaning at the church. Reserve your calendars for Saturday, April 5th, from 9am-12pm, with lunch served at noon.

Weather and participant dependent, we'll do things like:

-wash windows

-rake leaves

-deep clean the kitchen/appliances

-change light bulbs

-you name it!

If you have seen an opportunity for maintenance or improvement, let me know and I'll add it to the list.

This is another way to serve our church family; spend a little time preparing for Easter in service and fellowship. Just bring your appetite and good attitude, we'll supply the tools and materials.

With humor, wit, and imagination, Lewis explores an array of familiar, everyday struggles – and thereby charts a way forward.
