Rehearsing Scripture

Rev. Dr. Anna Carter Florence

All adult and youth classes will join in Wood Fellowship Hall for a lesson on "reading the verbs in Scripture".

Columbia Theological Seminary professor, Dr. Anna Carter Florence, will share her method of reading Scripture that enlivens the text in a new way.

Pen Peery says, "Anna Carter Florence was absolutely one of the best professors I had at Columbia Theological Seminary for no other reason than she helped me learn how to love the Bible on a deeper level. Anna’s passion is in making the Bible come alive to those who hear it, study it, or preach it. She is profound and accessible. I am thrilled she is going to bring her gifts and passion to ignite us this weekend."

Christianity and World Religions

Jan. 6, 20, Feb. 3, 10, 17

led by Garrell Keesler

With nearly 100 million Americans professing a faith other than Christianity, we (and our children) are likely to encounter others' claims of faith at some point. How should we respond?

Over 5 weeks, we will compare Christianity to major world religions in an effort to understand how their views, practices and hopes align with ours. What can we learn from other faiths to strengthen our own? How can we love our neighbors better by understanding the things they hold most dearly?
