Light & Darkness in the Fourth Gospel
June 21st – August 2nd *no class July 5th* | Tuesdays | 6:30 PM
Join Rev. Mike Flynn in this 6-week study, as we look at how the author of the Gospel of John uses metaphors of light and darkness to help us understand how Jesus reveals God’s light and truth in a world of darkness. These metaphors will also be discussed in terms of how characters in the gospel respond to God’s truth revealed in Christ, and how readers today might also respond to God’s message of love. Weekly reading assignments from John will be an important part of the study.

Join Rev. Stefani Reed-Meyer for a lunchtime book study this summer reading What’s Your Story by Sarah Heath.

Book Details: Envision your life as an adventure co-created by God. This study explores Joseph’s story. He accomplished great things in Egypt, but he didn’t really understand his story’s significance until he recognized what God was doing through him. Sarah Heath helps you explore your own life story in the same way. By doing so, you’ll discover how to co-create with God the kind of life that will be a page-turner.
This four-session small-group study features opportunities and space for creative journaling, complemented by art from the author.
