CHARGE Conference

New Bible Study Opportunity
You are invited to join this six week Study on the Gospel of John. John’s Gospel offers a new language- of being born anew, of living water, of wind and spirit, of the “I Am” – that enhances how we understand the divine, how we experience the world, and how we participate in the mystery of faith.
The author of this study, Amy-Jill Levine introduces the participants of this study to the world of the Gospel of John by unpacking the stories in their original context, along with examining how we are to read the text today.
This six week study in John’s Gospel will meet each Sunday following worship, beginning this Sunday October 13, 2024 at 11:15 a.m. Please join us.

Our youth and Winstead youth will meet Sunday, October 13 to enjoy an evening of food, pumpkin carving and lots of fun.
The youth will deliver meals on wheels Saturday, October 12.
