SUNDAY CLASSES
The Power of the Word: A Study of Sermons by Martin Luther King Jr. – taught by Kem Toole, Fay Rouseff-Baker, Sara Mickelson, and Friends. Feb. 8-March 1. Join us as we explore several sermons by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., revealing how Scripture can challenge injustice and inspire transformative love. Together, we’ll reflect on how MLK's prophetic voice calls us to live out the gospel with courage, hope, and action today.
Coming Up:
Sundays, March 22-May 3: The Challenge of Acts by NT Wright – taught by Marsha Rydberg in EM307/308. In conversation with N. T.

The book that accompanies this class will be ordered and available for $10 from the church office by late February.

Meeting Jesus at the Table
The Gospels are full of stories of Jesus sharing meals with disciples, friends, even tax collectors and Pharisees. Join us for a Lenten study that explores these stories from Jesus' life as we seek to meet him at the table.
The book that accompanies this class will be ordered and available for $10 from the church office by Ash Wednesday.
