Public Faith for Troubled Times

A five-week adult study following worship beginning Sept. 21
As people of faith we are moved to work for the common good, not only on a personal level, but also in the public sphere. And yet, history and current realities show us the many pitfalls and challenges of doing so. At a time when a growing number vocally support theocracy while others want nothing to do with religion personally, let alone societally, how can we as Christians serve faithfully in a way that witnesses to a loving and gracious God? Make new connections and share in the conversation around this important topic.
