Introduction to Christianity

Enjoy a snack on the patio after worship and join us for some conversations over the next four weeks about a few key ingredients essential for growing in our faith. The topics will include:

  • April 14 - Who is God and what can we expect from God?

  • April 21 - What is the Bible and how do we understand it as an ancient document that is relevant to our lives today?

  • April 28 - What role does the church play in my own life and in the communities where we live?

  • May 5 - How do we apply our faith to some of the more difficult moral questions in our society?

This seminar is open to anyone (young and old in faith) who has questions about these important ideas. No sign-up necessary—please feel free to come for any or all weeks.
