4 January 2015 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth
Please joins us on Sunday (4 January 2015) at 11:00 AM for “More Than Enough” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell
Religious Education classes for Children and Youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service. Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service, then are dismissed to their classes.
4 January 2015 Adult Religious Education Class
Please join us on Sunday (4 January 2015) at 9:30 AM for our Adult Religious Education Class. We will be continuing our discussion of Nature’s God: The Heretical Origins of the American Republic by Matthew Stewart.
A very persuasive response to the idea that our country was founded as a “Christian nation,” Stewart’s work takes a close, fresh look at what the founders meant by the words in the Declaration of Independence (“the laws of nature and nature’s God”).
We have 1 more books available if you don’t have one yet. We will continue discussing Chapter 3 (“Epicurus’s Dangerous Idea”) which will also touch on the life of the 16th century monk Giordano Bruno (that name may sound familiar if you have seen the television series Cosmos with Neil Degrasse Tyson).
Find out what Epicurus, Bruno, and Thomas Jefferson could have possibly had in common.
