Weekly
Fall Bible Study
Beginning on
September 19th at 7:00pm, we invite you to join us for a series we're
calling "Reading Familiar Parables and Hard Sayings in New Light."
Together we'll be studying some familiar parables along with some "hard
sayings" of Jesus to see what today's biblical scholaras are saying
about them in light of the current understanding of the economic,
political and social realities of the first century. We'll be looking at
how these stories intersect with our own lives and how they invite us to
faithful, justice-filled living.
Our time
together begins with dessert and prayer, followed by conservation about
the text for the evening. You can bring your own bible or use one of
ours. We invite you to join our warm and open group as we deepen our
faith together.
If you are
interested in joining us, call the church office at 215-345-1535 for
