"A JUST PEACE CHURCH"
A study and discussion on Tuesdays, November 26, December 3, 10, 17 7:15-8:30pm Room E-204 led by Rollin Russell In 2015 First Congregational UCC voted to be "A Just Peace Church." This series of discussions will explore what that might mean for our life together and for our ministries and mission as a congregation. We will read the book, "A Just Peace Church" which is available at the church office. We will discuss the biblical insights and theology that are at the core of UCC General Synod Pronouncement of 1985 that prompted the writing of the book. We will fast-forward to see how this commitment can inform our faith in the current cultural and world context and how it might shape our common life at FCUCC. |
Sundays through Nov. 24th 9:00am in E-107 Join Brenda Lewis as we discuss David Brook's book, "The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life." Brooks explores the possibility of a life of deeper meaning and fulfillment through four commitments: to family, to a vocation, to a philosophy or faith, and to a community. We will explore the intersections with our own traditions and quests for faithful living. The book is an excellent read, but you do not need to buy or read the book to participate in the class. |
