Journey with Scripture | Fellowship Room and Zoom
“…love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Contribute to the needs of the saints, extend hospitality to strangers.”—Romans 12:10, 13
In May’s Easter season, we complete most of the readings in this year’s P’s and Q’s of Scripture. This includes the 8th century prophet Micah, the Dead Sea Scrolls (Qumran caves), the sayings of Jesus (Q sayings) and Paul’s letter to the Romans. We continue to reflect upon the cosmic and intimate proportions of salvation offered to us in Jesus Christ including the ever renewed call of acceptance and steadfast love. Come join the journey!
Join us for this week’s readings: Micah 6:6–16; Qumran (selected reading); Romans 11:1–36; Luke (Q) 15:4–10; 17:1–4. Contact Sara Hackett for Zoom information.
Parenting Circle | Harambe Room and Zoom

PC(USA) Mission Worker Shares Her Perspective on the War Between Ukraine and Russia
Ellen Smith, regional liaison for Central and Eastern Europe, PC(USA) World Mission, will share her views on the war in Ukraine from a 20-year perspective across Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Poland. She also will introduce partners from these 20 years and what’s happening today. How are they responding in each place and how are they not? It is important to find signs of hope in the midst of this tragedy. It’s important to find humanity in the midst of brutality.
