Sundays from 8:30-9:30 AM

Starting Sunday, September 15, we will begin a study of The Surprising Lives of Christian Saints. This 24-week course from the Great Courses is taught by Emily Graham, PhD, from Oklahoma State University. 

In our Congregational tradition, we don’t learn much about saints, but many of them led amazing and interesting lives. The course will introduce us to a different saint each lesson. Some are well-known, and some are more obscure. The class will be hybrid, both on Zoom and in person, in the Fellowship Hall at 8:30 a.m. Please join us.

Mondays from NOON-1:00 PM 

Hybrid: Library & Zoom

Join us every Monday at noon (except Monday holidays). In the beginning, we will examine the text for the coming Sunday. If there is enough interest, we will take 3-4 months and survey the whole Bible.

Wednesdays at 4:00 PM 

Hybrid: Library & Zoom

Begins September 18

Reading The Sin of Certainty by Peter Enns

The Sin of Certainty?

Have you ever felt like you don’t have the certainty of faith that other Christians seem to embody? Author Peter Enns thinks certainty is not as helpful or important as you may think. In fact, sometimes certainty is pride, rigidity, or arrogance rather than a living, breathing faith that helps us to love more fully. Join us for this fascinating book by Peter Enns! 

From Amazon:

With compelling and often humorous stories from his own life, Bible scholar Peter Enns offers a fresh look at how Christian life truly works, answering questions that cannot be addressed by the idealized traditional doctrine of "once for all delivered to the saints." 

Enns offers a model of vibrant faith that views skepticism not as a loss of belief but as an opportunity to deepen religious conviction with courage and confidence. This is not just an intellectual conviction, he contends, but a more profound kind of knowing that only true faith can provide. 

Combining Enns' reflections of his own spiritual journey with an examination of scripture, The Sin of Certainty models an acceptance of mystery and paradox that all believers can follow and why God prefers this path because it is the only way by which we can become mature disciples who truly trust God. It gives Christians who have known only the demand for certainty permission to view faith on their own flawed, uncertain, yet heartfelt terms.
