Discussion Group
You are invited to join a three-week discussion series entitled "Digging Deeper: A Discussion on the Teaching of Jesus of Nazareth in Three Parables", led by Karen Freed and Ann Montague. The series will take place on Sunday mornings, 9:00 am-9:45 am, November 3, 10, and 17 as follows:
- November 3: The parable of the Mustard Seed ( Mark 4:30-32)
- November 10: The parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)
- November 17: The parable of the Sheep and the Goats (Matthew 25:31-46)
The purpose of the discussions is to create a time when we can discuss the teachings of Jesus in a safe, inclusive, and interactive space. “We gather together to discern the mind of Christ and the will of God and to commit ourselves to living these values in the world” (Bruce Reyes-Chow, Everything Good About God is True, p. 43).
