The Present Word, led by Walt King, looks at the mix of our faith and our lives in the light of scripture. Using The Present Word series as a guide, the class meets in the Parlor from September till May. During Fall 2009 the series is entitled: "Covenant Communities." The three units in the fall quarter focus on God’s covenant as made manifested in communities. The lessons consider the persons God chose to be covenant leaders, the invitations God offered to enter into community, the people’s responses to the invitations and the nature of God’s new covenant community. All are welcome.

Ongoing Programs
Faith & Film
Faith does not exist in a vacuum but must engage the culture in which it
finds itself. Our monthly Faith & Film series, as well as special topical
programs, examines ways in which faith intersects with popular culture.
Please watch this space for our next scheduled event.

Caring for our bodies as a spiritual practice

Why does the Bible emphasize our bodies?
How can the physical act of caring for our bodies hold spiritual value and enhance our relationship with God?
How can we worship God through our choices in rest, exercise, diet, and other areas in which we care for our bodies?
