Wed@First Begins September 20

Wed@First provides an opportunity to experience Christian fellowship and growth in a relaxed atmosphere. It includes dinner, children’s’ choirs, and Shakespeare and Friends, beginning at 4:30 p.m. and ending at 8:00 p.m. Dinner opens at 5:30 p.m. Our after-dinner program, from 6:30-7:30 p.m., will have a study led by Dr. Ryan Baer:

“Bumper Sticker Theology”

Join us after our Wed@First dinners in Moses Waddel Room for a series of conversations with Dr. Baer titled, “Bumper Sticker Theology.” We’ll explore phrases like, “God only gives you as much as you can handle,” and “In case of rapture, this car will be unmanned.” We’ll ponder the origins of these phrases, consider their usefulness, and put them in conversation with biblical texts. All are welcome, and no advance preparation is required.

Dot’s Closet

Dear friends, we are in need of the following items for Dot’s Closet: lightweight wheelchairs, shower chairs, and walkers. Please bring them to church office during business hours (Mon-Thu 8:30-4:30 p.m.; Fri 8:30-2:00 p.m.). For more information and questions, please contact Jennifer Sunderlin at frontdesk@firstpresathens.org.
