Join us on New Year's Eve, Sunday, December 31, for our last Jammies and Jesus gathering until Spring 2024. One last Dad Joke for 2023. One last gathering for fun and fellowship.

New Adult Ed Class

Adult Education is offering a new study on The Difficult Words of Jesus by Amy-Jill Levine, Sundays, January 7–February 11, 11AM. Jesus provided his disciples teachings for how to follow God’s word, parables to help them discern questions of ethics and of human nature, and beatitudes for comfort and encouragement. But sometimes Jesus spoke words that followers—then and now—have found difficult. He instructs disciples to act as if they are slaves, and to sell their possessions and give the money to the poor. Dr. Levine shows how these difficult teachings might be interpreted today.


Books are on the office credenza. Class will meet in the office conference room and on Zoom

Office Closure

See You in Church!
