Summer Studies
The Book of James
The Clayton Small Group on Monday nights and the Wednesday night small group are both studying James, and would love to have you join them for discussion and fellowship. Contact Jim Whitfield for Monday night or Rebecca for Wednesday night.
Theology on Tap: Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture: An Agrarian Reading of the Bible
Starting again on Wednesday, June 24th, Theology on Tap is back with an all-new study of Ellen F. Davis's Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture: An Agrarian Reading of the Bible, an in-depth environmental perspective on the Old Testament, a book that comes highly recommended by Pastor Johanna. This will be a great time to join the group. Please contact Lisa Justice for a copy of the reading and Zoom invite.
Start Your Own!
If you would like to be part of a small group just to check in with each other during COVID-19, or to have a topical discussion, or just to watch a movie together, email Rebecca and she will be happy to start organizing groups. If you are already part of a small group and could use some help staying connected online, the church has a Webex account that you are welcome to use for this purpose! Contact Lisa Justice, and she will get you started.
“In a word, the prophets aim to restore the tragic imagination, which, paradoxically, is essential to the health and ultimately the survival of any community, precisely because it is the faculty whereby we reckon with devastating loss.”
