Christian Reading Group

2nd & 4th Monday | 7 pm

Leader | N. Janine Dickey
Our group reads and discusses Christian literature -- old and current.  We meet remotely on the second and fourth Monday of each month from 7-8:30 pm, with occasional in-person gatherings.

The readings are meant to inspire personal growth and encourage confidential discussions. We welcome persons in any and all stages of their faith journey and with varied religious (or non-religious) backgrounds.

Our current read is Spiritual Practices of Jesus: Learning Simplicity, Humility, and Prayer with Luke's Earliest Readers by Catherine Wright. Luke's Gospel was written to transform. In its original context, readers would have seen a portrait of Jesus as an ideal teacher and king, able to shape his people through exemplary leadership. They would have come to the Gospel expecting to be changed for God's purposes through the imitation of Jesus' lifestyle and adoption of his teaching. When today's readers approach the text in the same way, they can be transformed too.

We encourage and welcome you to join us!

Defending Your Faith in a Post Truth Culture

April 7, 14, 21 & 28

We live in a world that's increasingly hostile to Christianity. Much of the hostility is founded on the idea that there's no objective Truth. Although, logically, this is a self-refuting proposition, it has many converts. They support the idea that Truth is relative (Relativism). This means "what's true for me is not necessarily true for you.” This contradicts Jesus' teachings: "I am the Truth" and "You shall know the Truth." Yet, this philosophy is gaining ground in Christian circles, especially, among the youth.  

This is a problem! But there is hope, there are ways to respond, and there is much that we as Christians can do.
 
Pastoral Resident Dr. Charlene Friedman will lead an apologetics class at Faith Cafe on Sundays,  April 7, 14, 21,  and 28, at 9am or 10:30 am in the Havrilla Room. These sessions will enable you to learn effective ways to refute this, and other deceptive ideas, and how to defend your faith.

TraVERSEing the Word

Wednesday | 7 pm

Join us in a welcoming, unintimidating atmosphere in this verse-by-verse Bible study of the book of Mark, resuming in Chapter 9. From beginner to Bible scholar, all are welcome to join us at any time. The Bible is the only book we use, and there are no homework assignments. Kevin Fox leads this study.
