Hanging by a Thread - The Questions of the Cross
by Samuel Wells
Sunday morning Forums and online videos led by the Rev. Peter Mayer
Starting March 10
This brilliant series of theological reflections from internationally known scholar and Anglican cleric Samuel Wells reflects on the challenges of our understanding of Christ’s crucifixion that arise today using contemporary ideas in history, biblical studies, and philosophy.
After reflecting upon six biblical stories, Wells discovers that the cross has an enduring power to shape how we live, how we relate to one another, and how we allow ourselves to be enfolded in God’s story.

Thursday Morning Bible Study
We offer a Thursday morning book study from Sept. - May from 9:15 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Child care is available in the nursery Annex building at this time.
For Lent the group will pick up The Last Week that depicts Jesus giving up his life to protest power without justice and to condemn the rich who lack concern for the poor. In this vein, at the end of the week Jesus marches up Calvary, offering himself as a model for others to do the same when they are confronted by similar issues. Informed, challenged, and inspired, we not only meet the historical Jesus, but meet a new Jesus who engages us and invites us to follow him.
