In The News
Sundays at 10:45 a.m. in the Prayer Room.
This class provides a safe space to examine currents events through a Christian lens. It is a topical study. We generally read a relevant article or story and discuss it in a single session. We often make use of articles provided by Wired Word, but occasionally, this group will focus on another topic, at the request of those attending the class. In either case, it is a lively discussion with many different perspectives.

Great Courses
Sundays at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom
Join us as we continue with our video lecture series from the Great Courses Company - a Survey of World Religions.
Over the course of 24 engaging lectures, award-winning Professor Mark Berkson of Hamline University takes you on a tour of our world and its religious cultures. Your journey will introduce you to the beliefs, symbols, and practices of other traditions, and it will provide you with new insights into your own.
Each half hour lecture is followed by a group discussion. Each lecture can be appreciated without the context of the other lectures.
This class takes place on Zoom.
Unlocking the Gospel of John
A Mini-Series meeting Sundays beginning January 11th.
10:45 – 11:30am, Room 107-109
John’s Gospel offers readers a new language—of being born anew, of living water, of wind and spirit, of the “I am”—that enhances how we understand the divine, how we experience the world, and how we participate in the mystery of faith.
With her characteristic wit and charm, Amy-Jill Levine, a noted New Testament scholar, introduces readers to the world of the Gospel of John by unpacking the stories in their original context, along with examining how the text is read today. In the Gospel of John we will find an amazing prologue, the wedding at Cana, the Samaritan woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery, the healing of the man at the pool and the man born blind, foot washing, Mary Magdalene and Doubting Thomas, and the Lamb of God.
This mini-series will use videos created by Amy-Jill Levine. Each week we will view a 10-minute video and then have a casual discussion. Each class session is independent, so it’s ok if you can’t come every week. And there is no homework, so drop in anytime!
This mini-series class will run for 6 sessions and Nursery care is available. We hope you will join us!
