Remember, this Sunday, September 21st Faith Conversations for all ages begin!
Adult Faith Conversations
This seven week series will begin
this Sunday after worship and coffee
and finish at 11:45. We invite you to
consider which Conversation interests you:
BOUNDARIES , facilitated by Chris Moore, will focus on the book, Boundaries, by Dr.s Henry Cloud
& John Townsend. Let’s explore together what it means to set healthy boundaries in our lives.
This conversation will take place in the Nursery Annex.
THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS: WISDOM OF THE TWIN, facilitated by Anke Brandstater.
Using a book written by Lynn Bauman, we will explore the Gospel of Thomas,
a non-canonical gospel that was written in the early second century.
This conversation will take place in the Student Center (classroom with kitchenette).
DAILY FAITH, facilitated by Rhonda Eppelsheimer. This is a weekly discussion centered on issues of faith and daily life. The topics vary from week to week. What are the faith questions you wrestle with? What does it mean to live every day from a Christian perspective?
This conversation will take place in the Worship Center. |
Kindergarten - 5th Grade
ChristKids: Holy Moly
in the Student Center (garage)
A wonderful curriculum that
engages children of all ages
in the Biblical stories that
shape our faith!
Middle & High School:
Reflecting on God’s Word for Today

Facilitated by Chris Parker & Logan Wilmoth
This will be an informal discussion of the
preaching text for that Sunday.

Only ONE more week to enjoy the works of...
ZoomUganda shares the journey of 12 girls given 12 cameras and 24 hours in which to tell their own stories through their own lenses. A Photovoice project directed by Julie Resnick of Portland, Oregon, ZoomUganda empowered its participants to stand in the centers of their world and show you the view from there. Julie and colleagues will offer a speak at an event open to the public here at ChristChurch later in the month of October. Details are still being worked out and once the date and time are confirmed we look forward to getting the word out.
