Beginning on June 12th, Andrew will be teaching a small group focusing on The Good Place, a comedy TV series that ran for four seasons exploring philosophy, the afterlife, and the nature of good and evil. Each week we will watch a single 20 minute episode and then discuss the episode as a group. The group will meet on Sunday afternoons at 2:30pm.
Join Kim this summer in reading The Apostle: A Life of Paul by John Pollock. The Apostle
masterfully combines careful adherence to the biblical text, detailed research, and a storyteller's gift to create a book equally relevant for both casual readers fascinated by Paul's life and serious biblical scholars. We will meet Monday evenings beginning June 27 at 6:00 pm via Zoom.
This summer the Tuesday Morning Group will be reading 24/6 by Matthew Sleeth beginning on June 7th. This book explores the idea of Sabbath in the 21st century and how we can embody a spiritual life in a world that has become enslaved to technology. This group meets on Tuesday mornings at 9am.
