Upcoming Events

We hold some of our programs in a hybrid format, with some gathering in person and others joining via Zoom.

  • Bible Study

    Mondays, 12:30pm, in the Chapel or the Zoom Room

    We’re reading from Marcus Borg’s Evolution of the Word: The New Testament in the Order the Books Were Written, and everyone is welcome to join us in person or on Zoom. Copies of the book are available in the church office.

     

    The general format is to read the introductory material for each section, then to read through the Biblical texts and talk about what it meant for early Christians and what it might mean for us today. We try to discipline ourselves to keeping the conversation to an hour every week.

  • Zoom Happy Hour

    Fridays, 5–6pm

    All are invited to bring your own beverage and join the conversation on Friday evenings for this social hour in the Zoom room. It’s a great way to keep in touch while it remains complicated to be together in person.
