Bible on Broadway: On the Other Hand...
11AM
John 3:1-21
Bible on Broadway: Tradition!
Rev. Dr. Michelle Morris
John 7:37-52 & John 19:38-42
In Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye embodies the tension between being open to change in our faith and holding fast to what defines us as such a people. We see the same tension in the journey of Nicodemus across the Gospel of John.

Help de-clutter your home by giving your unwanted items a new life with someone else! We will begin collecting merchandise at the church Hines Hall Wednesday September 2nd. Like last year, if you can pre-price your treasures that would be a great help! We are requesting no clothing, paint, household chemicals, or items that hold a baby (no car seats, cribs, highchars, etc.) this year.
Spread the word for a good cause! We sincerely appreciate your continued support and generosity!

Pop Up Prayer Sunday School September 27
Why do we pray? Is it more than just talking to God or asking for our needs? What if prayer is more about a relationship with God? Going deeper with God? How do we listen to God? Hear God’s voice? Can prayer be as simple as a conversation with a good friend? These are the questions that will engage us in the eight week pop-up Sunday School Class on Prayer beginning September 27 at 10am. Through teaching, prayer exercises, and suggested resources we will learn together about prayer. Let us know if you need to leave early for choir, we can accommodate. Suggested book: Lord, Teach Us To Pray by Margie Burger. Contact Johnna Kosnoff or Shanna Pargellis with questions.
