Current Book Study:

Jesus For the Non-Religious by John Selby Spong. In his book, Spong challenges much about our traditional beliefs surrounding Jesus, from the miraculous birth to a virgin, to the cosmic ascension at the end of his life. He speaks to the contemporary critics of Christianity who contend that Christianity has become evil and destructive. The reader is invited to consider a new way of understanding the divinity of Christ.

Traditional Christians who cling to dated concepts of the past will not be comfortable with this book. One reviewer wrote: "This book is a very important challenge to the 'literal text with a spiritual meaning' so prevalent in American Christianity. It will speak to the persons who long for a theological image of Jesus preaching a desperately needed message about justice, reconciliation, compassion and personal integrity.."

Join us for an engaging dialogue starting on Monday, June 14th from 7-9pm. We will have social "chat" time from 7-7:30pm. Book study conversation will begin at 7:30pm. Our plan is to meet weekly, discussing a few chapters at a time. For our first session, we will talk about the first three chapters (36 pages). Jesus For the Non-Religious is available at the Elk River Library. You can also order it online at Amazon. If you need help acquiring the book, please let one of us know. See you on the 14th!

In 2009-10, Sunday Morning Adult Forum was the place to be for interactive discussions regarding "They Like Jesus... But Not the Church."  Many people today are either losing interest in the church, or have negative perceptions about Christianity, and yet they remain fascinated with Jesus. The people who took part in Adult Forum spent time discussing a series of interactive DVDs, "They Like Jesus... But Not the Church." Adult Forum meets September - May, on Sundays at 9:40am in the Community Room (near the kitchen). Each session is stand-alone with no preparation needed, so drop in any time you can. Grab a cup of coffee and a cookie or two and get comfortable! Join in the conversation!
