“The Wheat and the Weeds”

Jesus tells an interesting parable about wheat and weeds. When asked if the weeds should be pulled from among the wheat, Jesus tells them to hold off on pulling the weeds. Then he gives an explanation why the disciples should not pull the weeds right away.

How can we relate this story to our own lives? What are the “wheat” and “weeds” in our lives and what do we do about them?

Join us this Sunday as we explore this story and how it might apply to our lives today!

Social Justice Book Club

August Meeting

In August the book club will be doing something a little different.

We are asking everyone who cares to participate to read something off of any banned book list (you can find a list on Amazon; or you can type “banned book list” into google). You might even consider a children’s book or a classic. On Monday, Aug. 21 at 7:00pm we will share via zoom why our chosen books might have been banned and discuss the current issues around banned books. Please consider joining this great group.

Join Rev. Rick for three separate Reader’s Theater sessions on August 23, 30 & September 6 at 4PM at church in person only!

For those not familiar with Reader’s Theater: Reader’s Theater is the experience of reading a play script out loud using only the spoken lines — nothing else. The beauty of its simplicity is that it doesn’t require memorized lines, costumes, sets, or polished acting, but it nevertheless invites participants to step inside the text — to inhabit it through their roles — and to experience the text more fully because they are involved in it themselves. These scripts invite you to revisit those middle school days as you use Reader’s Theater to capture the drama and surprise of these biblical texts.

Each session will be a separate story…attend all three, one or two! In order to have materials ready, we’d like an idea of how many scripts to prepare. Please sign the sheet in the foyer to sign up for the weeks you will attend!
