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
