Journey with Scripture | Fellowship Room and Zoom
“I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.”—Romans 8:18
The above is an apt verse for ending the season of Lent and celebrating Easter during the month of April. New every morning, God’s word of hope is for all—the faith and love of Christ revealed to us. Many other readings are similarly encouraging in our selections entitled, P’s and Q’s of Scripture. They include the 8th century prophet Micah, the Dead Sea Scrolls (Qumran caves), the sayings of Jesus (Q sayings), and the apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans. We continue to reflect upon the cosmic and intimate proportions of salvation offered in Jesus Christ. Come join the journey!
Join us for this week’s readings: Micah 4:6–5:1; Qumran (Cave 4) Commentary on Nahum; Romans 8:1–39; Luke (Q) 13:28–14:23. Contact Sara Hackett for Zoom information.
Parenting Circle | Harambe Room and Zoom
We will continue discussing The Sandbox Revolution: Raising Kids for a Just World. Written by parents who also are writers, pastors, teachers, organizers, artists, gardeners, and activists, this anthology offers diverse experiences on topics that include education, money, anti-racism, resistance, spirituality, disability justice, and Earth care.
