Coffee, Christ, & Connections
Beginning August 23
8 am at Panera Bread Company Pastor Karn will be at Panera Bread Company (located on Glendale near the church) at 8 am. Any and everyone is welcome to come together and connect over coffee and a morning devotion. Bibles are encouraged. Plan on meeting for the rest of August and September. Come once or come each week, it is up to you, but know that during this time deeper connections with Christ and one another will be made! Sunday Bible Study
September through May
After worship, gather with other adults to dig deeper into the Bible. There is time to get a cup of coffee, say hello, and then head into the Adult Conference Room (in the Peterson Center Fellowship Hall). This group will be following the Narrative Lectionary for readings. Discussion ends by 11:30 am. Scholarly Pop Up Presentation
Kevin Barker, son of member Alyce Mayer, is pursuing his second Masters in Theology at Regent University. His paper, Apostate Rejection in the United and Divided Monarchies, is soon to be published. This is a deep dive into 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings, considering how Israel’s rejection of YHWH’s just and abiding love led to the dividing of the monarchy and exiling of the northern and southern kingdoms. For those of you interested in ancient church history and biblical scholarship this event is just for you.
As his travel schedule can be unpredictable, know that the next time Kevin is in town there will be a gathering of those interesting in hearing more about this topic. If you would like a copy of his paper beforehand, please let Pastor Karn know. Since we do not know exactly when or where, it is a Pop up event...it will happen when it happens so stay tuned. Prayer Shawl Ministry
Do you knit or crochet? Then come to an informational meeting about the Prayer Shawl Ministry. Prayer shawls to be given to people who need to feel wrapped up in the love of Christ and find out how you can help.
