Sunday School at 10am

Every Sunday morning, we gather in the Friendship Room (coffee corner) to talk about 3 topics. Each week Pastor Bo brings 3 things to present and then talk about.

It is a dynamic conversation with people of different generations, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. By comparing notes and exchanging ideas, we always leave a little better than we came in.

Come and join in. All are welcome!

NO BS Bible Study

We are starting a new group for young adults this Wednesday (an odd Wednesday) and every Wednesday that has an odd number.

We will be talking about the book of Galatians to help us get rid of religious junk of the past and be honest about our spiritual journey.

If you know someone who might be interested - let them know and we will get started this Wednesday at 6:15 - 7:30pm

U is for Universalism

U is for Universalism
Our A-Z series continues this Sunday (3/17) with ‘U is for Universalism’

There are two types of Universalism that we will be discussing:
1) Christian - will everyone be saved?
2) Religious - do all paths lead to the same place? 
Join in on Zoom or in-person at 10am this Sunday.

Check out this preview at Pastor Bo's Website: https://bosanders.com/2020/11/09/u-is-for-universalism-modified/

It is going to be a zesty conversation. All we ask is that you come caffeinated and opinionated.
