SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Study - Separation of Church and Hate
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Evening Study – April 15 – June 3  \n7:00 in person in room 7/8 & on Zoom \nID# 839 5418 7177 \nPasscode 326959 \nThis class is lead by Brenda Weikel. Please have the first two chapters read before class. \nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * In the spirit of George Carlin and Christopher Hitchens\, the son of a former Catholic nun and a Franciscan brother delivers a deeply irreverent and biblically correct takedown of far-right Christian hatred—a book for believers\, atheists\, agnostics\, and anyone who’ll ever have to deal with a Christian nationalist.  \nFor more than two centuries\, the United States Constitution has given us the right to a society where church and state exist independently. But Christianity has been hijacked by far-right groups and politicians who seek to impose their narrow views on government\, often to justify oppressive and unequal policies. The extremists who weaponize the Bible for earthly power aren’t actually on the side of Jesus—and historically they never have been. How do we fight back against those acting—literally—in bad faith? \nComedian and broadcaster John Fugelsang finally offers the answers. In this informative\, perspective-shifting book\, Fugelsang takes readers through common fundamentalist arguments on abortion\, immigration\, LGBTQ rights\, and more—exposing their hypocrisy and inaccuracy through scripture\, common sense\, and deeply inappropriate humor. It offers practical tips on how to debate your loved one\, coworker\, or neighbor on the issues that divide us using that Bible they claim to follow. \nBut Fugelsang’s message is about more than just taking down hypocrites. It’s about fighting for the love\, mercy\, and service that are supposed to make up the heart of Christianity. Told with Fugelsang’s trademark blend of radical honesty\, comedy\, and deep political and religious knowledge\, Separation of Church and Hate is the book every American needs today. It’s a rallying cry for compassion and clarity for anyone of any faith who’s sick of religion being used as a cloaking device for hate.

SUMMARY:Lenten Study
DESCRIPTION:An Unlikely Lent\nExtraordinary People of the Easter Story By Rachael Billups \nWednesdays at 7:00 p.m.  \nFebruary 25 – April 1 In person (Room 7/8) and on Zoom \nSubscribe to our emails for the Zoom information.  \nNotice the unexpected this Easter.  \nThe crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus stand at the heart of the Easter story. Yet the resurrection did not unfold in isolation—it happened in the presence of a crowd. What can we learn from the women and men who stood nearby? How might their stories invite us to step more fully into the Easter narrative? \nAn Unlikely Lent explores the often-overlooked figures of the Easter story\, drawing our attention not only to the dramatic moments\, but also to the spaces in between—the silence\, the side characters\, and the lingering questions. Through their eyes\, we gain fresh insight into themes of devotion\, opposition\, freedom\, courage\, companionship\, and alliances. \nBy seeing the Easter story from these perspectives\, we may discover that the resurrec-tion is not only a past event\, but an ongoing invitation into something new\, unexpected\, and transformative. As we journey through Lent\, we are invited to walk with eyes wide open\, ready to notice where God is moving—even in the margins. Since the cross is not the end of the story\, we are called to embrace every unlikely moment along the way. \nThe Wednesday evening class is led by Brenda Weikel. Reading the book is not required; each session includes a short in-class video covering the main themes. For those who wish to explore further\, the book is available wherever books are sold. \nWe hope you will join us for this meaningful Lenten journey.

SUMMARY:Lenten Study
DESCRIPTION:An Unlikely Lent\nExtraordinary People of the Easter Story By Rachael Billups \nWednesdays at 7:00 p.m.  \nFebruary 25 – April 1 In person (Room 7/8) and on Zoom \nSubscribe to our emails for the Zoom information.  \nNotice the unexpected this Easter.  \nThe crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus stand at the heart of the Easter story. Yet the resurrection did not unfold in isolation—it happened in the presence of a crowd. What can we learn from the women and men who stood nearby? How might their stories invite us to step more fully into the Easter narrative? \nAn Unlikely Lent explores the often-overlooked figures of the Easter story\, drawing our attention not only to the dramatic moments\, but also to the spaces in between—the silence\, the side characters\, and the lingering questions. Through their eyes\, we gain fresh insight into themes of devotion\, opposition\, freedom\, courage\, companionship\, and alliances. \nBy seeing the Easter story from these perspectives\, we may discover that the resurrec-tion is not only a past event\, but an ongoing invitation into something new\, unexpected\, and transformative. As we journey through Lent\, we are invited to walk with eyes wide open\, ready to notice where God is moving—even in the margins. Since the cross is not the end of the story\, we are called to embrace every unlikely moment along the way. \nThe Wednesday evening class is led by Brenda Weikel. Reading the book is not required; each session includes a short in-class video covering the main themes. For those who wish to explore further\, the book is available wherever books are sold. \nWe hope you will join us for this meaningful Lenten journey.
