Watch & Discuss "The Chosen"
Always wanted to study the Bible, but just couldn't do it? Well here is a pain-free and (I guarantee) enjoyable way to learn more about Jesus, his disciples, his life and times and what it all means for you! THE CHOSEN is a worldwide phenomenon that is currently spreading the gospel message all over the world! It is a creative and imaginative interpretation of the Jesus event - a piece of religious art, as it were, that will connect you to Jesus and his ministry in a brand new, exciting and comfortable way. We will meet at 11:00 a.m. and watch the very first Season, Episodes 1 and 2 (about 45 mins each). Then we'll chat about it, putting the story in its historical, religious and cultural context. Any and all questions are welcome. Engaging. Educational. Emotional. Relational. Come and See what The Chosen experience can be!
Exploring Prayer @9AM
Prayer is one of the most important parts of our ongoing relationship with God, and yet it is one thing that we probably neglect if we did not learn effective ways to communicate. This class will explore why we pray, to whom we pray and some easy ways to increase your daily prayer life without really trying!
Led by Pastor Susan Langhauser
All Saints Day
You are invited to bring a small photo of someone who has died who was a positive influence in your Christian faith and post it on a bulletin board at the front of the sanctuary before the start of worship. These will remain up throughout November.
