Lenten Bread & Soup Suppers & Program

The Lenten Suppers will begin on February 28th and continue every Tuesday through March 27th.  Supper will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the programs approximate end time will be 8:00 p.m.  Please sign up in the Parish Hall to bring soup, bread, and refreshments. Everyone is invited to attend but you don't need to sign up to bring something each week. We can all share in that responsibility.  Our first program will be to watch Places in the Heart with Sally Field, John Malkovich, and Danny Glover.  A fine cast and a   gripping story to begin our Lenten journey. If you have any questions, please call the front office.

Living the Questions

People know that at its core, Christianity has something good to offer the human race.  At the same time, many of us have a sense that we are alone in being a "thinking" Christian and that "salvaging" Christianity may be a hopeless task.  What is needed is a safe environment where people have permission to ask the questions they've always wanted to ask.

Living the Questions is an open-minded alternative to studies that attempt to give participants all the answers.  Living the Questions creates an environment where participants not only interact with one another in exploring the best of today's theological thought, but together strive to explore what's next for Christianity. Featuring 30 of today's leading religious voices we will study and explore beyond the traditions and rote theologies in which so many people and local churches seem to be stuck.  Living the Questions will help us discover the significance of Christianity in the 21st Century and what a meaningful faith can look like in today's world.

See the Christian Formation page for more information.
