Spiritual Exploration

                                         

                                          Our first Spiritual Exploration Unit begins TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15! 

                                          “WIDOWS TO WARRIORS” 

                                          Tuesdays: October 15, 22 and 29; November 12 and 19

                                           7:00pm – 8:15pm on ZOOM 

                                           

During this five-week unit, we will explore the complex, multidimensional, inspiring, humorous and tragic lives of several of the women presented in the Hebrew Scriptures. From flawed heroes like Ruth and Rahab, to warriors like Deborah and Jael, we will examine what these foremothers of our spiritual tradition have to say to us in our time and place. 

Each session will be sufficiently independent of the others that you need not be concerned with having to attend all of them in order to participate.

Bible Study

Bible Study will resume THIS Thursday, October 10, at 10:30am on Zoom. We expect to move to a combination of online and in person Bible Study before the end of the Fall.

"Adopt a Sunday”: Fellowship Hour

Please consider “Adopting a Sunday.” You can choose a date and mark it on your calendar to commit to serving during our Fellowship Time on that day. It is a wonderful way to contribute to our community and connect with others. Volunteering your time to help our spiritual community is a meaningful way to give back.

Dates available for October 2024: 10/13, 10/20 and 10/27

If you would like to help prepare and serve refreshments for Fellowship Time after Worship on Sundays, please sign up on the sheet found on the table in the back of Fellowship Hall. It is easy, and assistance will be available if needed. Donations of light fare and/or help with serving or cleanup will be greatly appreciated
