Lenten Dinner Series


Lenten Dinner Series starting February 24.
The ballots are in and there were two topics that seem to be of great interest, so our Lenten Dinner Series will tackle both of them. We’ll begin with Faith and Stress, and follow up with Revelation and the End Times. Please contact the church office if you would like to attend. Dinner begins at 5:45 with the class following at 6:30. Suggested donation for dinner is $3.50 for adults and $1.50 for children 10 and under.
  • Faith and Stress – Jesus tells us, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matt 6:34). It appears that worrying is contrary to a life of faith, but knowing that theologically is much easier than living it experientially. Stress is real, and we all deal with it to some degree. In this class we will explore what the Christian faith has to offer in the midst of a stress-producing world.
  • Revelation and the End Times – Interest in the “End Times” seems to have peaked in recent years.  But what does the Bible really say about these matters? Is there a message to us, as people of faith, in this recent interest in apocalyptic scenarios?  How can knowing what God has to say about the “End Times” help us live in the “Mean Time”? How can we bring hope to a world that is spinning out of control?
