Bible Conversations!
I invite you to be part of something sort of different and sort of the same as we kick off a new year of Adult Faith Conversations. After worship, we are offering three opportunities to gather in small groups around the Bible. These conversations will run through Nov 22nd. All you need to bring is your Bible and a desire to get into the conversation!
Exploring the Questions
Rod Davis and Chris Moore will be facilitating a small group that will explore the questions they have about the Bible - questions like, “If Adam and Eve were the first (and only) people on Earth, where did their kids’ spouse come from?” or “Does God condone violence?” No question will be off limits. There will not always be easy or simple answers to the questions that are raised. Sometimes our faith grows best simply living with the questions together in community.
Nooma Inspirations
Heather Davis will be facilitating this small group that will explore various texts of the Bible through the lens of Rob Bell’s Nooma videos. In these short videos, Pastor Bell explores important themes of the Christian faith such as forgiveness, evangelism and loving our neighbor. Heather’s group will use these videos as springboards for engaging conversations about life and faith.
Sneak Peek!
I (Pastor David) will be facilitating a small group that will be digging in to the Bible text that will be the centerpiece for the following week’s worship. In other words, the preaching text for next week will be the conversation text for this week. I am looking forward to the opportunity to learn from and with each of you how these stories speak to our lives and our world today.
These Bible Conversations are a wonderful way to grow in our faith through our conversations with Scripture and with each other. It is my hope that you will take advantage of these opportunities to get to know the Bible and each other in a new way. See you on Sunday!
Peace,
Pastor David

It’s Sock-tober!
During the month of October the Service & Mission Team will be collecting warm, thermal socks. The mission is to ensure warm feet in the coming months for those in our community. Socks will be distributed to community agencies and individuals who have a need. Please consider picking up a pair or two for the collection barrel.
Service & Mission has its monthly gathering at 6pm on the first Tuesday each month. We are currently working on strengthening our foundation and direction as a team. We would love to have you join us to learn more or become a regular participant. We are a fun group and a great way to be engaged in active ministry to our community and world.
There is an open invitation to any meeting, our next meeting:
Sock-tober 6th, 6pm, front conference room at ChristChurch.
Also feel free to visit with any of the team members to learn more:
Larry Buchholz, Rhonda Eppelsheimer, Bobbie Gregg,
Corinne Gross, or Chuck Morgan.
