Book Study: A Resurrection Shaped Life
Sunday Mornings
March 17 – April 13
9:15 am – 10:00 am

Can we begin to experience the resurrection in our ordinary life on earth? Bishop Jake Owensby (Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Louisiana) re-examines the biblical concept of resurrection and how Jesus’ resurrection influences his followers every day. A Resurrection Shaped Life explains how we begin to experience resurrection in Christian practices such as repentance and forgiveness and discusses how new life emerges from our small deaths: suffering, shame, regret, and loss. Books are available on Amazon.com. A limited number will be on sale at the church, and a copy will be kept in the office for anyone who prefers not to purchase.

Evening Lenten Series: Living the Questions: Invitation to Journey

People know that at its core, Christianity has something good to offer the human race. But what is its significance in the 21^st century? What does a meaningful faith look like in today’s world? Is it possible to be a “thinking” Christian in a world that demands simple, ready answers to complex questions? If you are interested in how Christianity can remain relevant, and want to engage some serious questions of faith, join us on Tuesday evenings during Lent for Living the Questions: Invitation to Journey. Through a combination of video segments (these include conversations with leading voices of faith, sermon and lecture clips, and concrete spiritual practices and disciplines), written materials and discussion, we will engage serious questions of faith and explore with each other how we live out that faith in the world.
