The first Sunday of the New Year marks Epiphany, the day we celebrate the coming of the wise men to visit the child Jesus, whom they recognized as the Light of the World! Join us for Messy Church on January 6th, where the story will come to life through drama, crafts, games, music and feasting! For the rest of the months of January and February, we will be exploring the Bible in Depth, together.
Rob Bell, Christian author, wrote: Some people see the Bible as an outdated, irrelevant book of primitive, barbaric fairy tales that has no place in conversation today. And so, they ignore it, missing all of the progressive and enlightened ideas that first entered human history through the writers of the Bible – ideas and ideals we still fall far short of, ideas and ideals that are still way ahead of our present consciousness and practice. And then there are the folks who talk about how important and central and inspired the Bible is but then butcher it with their stilted literalism and stifling interpretations, assuming that it says one thing and if you just get that one thing, then you’ve read it well.
But you, I want you to read the Bible in a whole new way. The Bible is a book about a library of books dealing with loss and anger and transcendence and worry and empire and money and fear and stress and joy and doubt and grace and healing … topics we all need to discuss.
Join us as we explore the Bible and what it really is together.
