I am excited to announce the
"Origins" sermon series for the fall semester! During these sermon, bible study, and discussion times we will be exploring the origins of our existence, the nature and doctrines of the church, and belief itself.
We will look at what scripture, tradition, reason, and experience say about a number of topics. Nothing will be off limits and everything you thought you knew about your faith will be challenged. Join us as we seek meaning in our lives and in the world through the lens of early and postmodern Christian faith.
We will also be offering an extended talkback time with Pastor Rob following each service and an online discussion forum that you can participate in.
Here are the topics we will be covering (topics and dates are subject to change):
August 26th- Doubt and New Beginnings (Welcome and preview of series)
September 2nd- The Bible: It’s Not a Science or History Textbook
September 9th- Creation: Why Evolution is True (Rob and Rev. Dave Summers)
