UNRAVELING REVELATION – BEGINNING SUNDAY, APRIL 14

If there’s one book of the Bible that people have questions about or don’t understand, it’s the very last book, the Book of Revelation.  It many respects, it is one of the most unique books in the entire Bible, bringing together all sorts of unusual imagery and confusing language.  It’s become quite popular to read it in such a way as to try to unlock the secrets to the future, but doing so actually robs the book of its true power and import.  Revelation isn’t so much about the future as it is a field guide to dissident discipleship in the here and now.  Join us for Sunday School beginning April 14^th as we seek to Unravel Revelation.

WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY – MONDAY, April 8, 7PM

The Women’s Bible Study will meet on Monday, April 8th at 7:00 p.m. at the church. Barbara Baker will be our facilitator and hostess this month. We are using the book, The Love Stories of the Bible Speak by Shannon Bream. This month, we will be studying Ruth & Boaz – Second Chances.  Ladies, read your book and complete your workbook! Bring a friend. As always, if you don’t get your homework done, come anyway!!

40 DAY CHALLENGE – CONTINUES THROUGHOUT LENT

For Lent this year, we invite you to remove one item from your closet or cabinets that you no longer need or wear and put it in a bag.  After the 40 days, donate these items to a place that can share them with someone who can really use them.  To help you get started, we are providing bags that can be picked up in the Narthex after worship.  See the February newsletter for more information.
