Bible Class: How to Read the Bible - Epistles. There are over 21 letters in the New Testament, filled with profound theological content and controversy. These letters also serve as intimate correspondence between real friends, exploring what it means to follow Jesus in their specific time and place. How can we read these letters in a way that respects their context and informs our world? Join us for our next Bible class on August 25th at 9am to delve into these questions.

Sabbath Sunday. The Sunday of Labor Day Weekend we're taking a Sabbath Sunday, which means there will be no service or livestream. The fall season is a busy one, so to honor our team, community, and the practice of Sabbath we are using September 1st to rest and encouraging everyone in our community to do the same.

New Series. In the early church, apostles and leaders wrote to communities to help them make good choices. On the one hand, their words can feel overbearing and restrictive, but on the other hand, they can feel a lot like love. Love that cares about where you get your information. Love cares about conflict and how you treat people you disagree you. Love that concerns itself with respect other peoples choices. Love that inquires about about your body. Again and again, when we turn to letters like 1 Corinthians, we walk away with wisdom that speaks across centuries to help us make good choices.
