GOING DEEPER--A People of the Table
Tuesday Gathering: November: A People of the Table
The Doctrine of the Trinity is confusing. How can God be one God and Three persons? Plus, even if we can get a hold on the idea of the Trinity, what does it have to do with following Jesus day after day? Starting in November, the Tuesday Gathering will be considering the amazing truth about relationship, following Jesus, and theology.For those wanting to go deeper:
- Prep on your own
- Trinity on theopedia
- Bedrock Beliefs post on the doctrine of God
- HIGHLY recommended book: It Takes a Church to Raise a Christian (much of the lesson material will be drawn from Tod Bolsinger's excellent work).
=============================
SUNDAY COLLEGIUM
We are on a journey as fellow travelers.
Some of us have been journeying a long time and know more.
Others are new to the journey and have fresh eyes and fresh wonder.
Yet we are fellow travelers.
All have a voice.
So,
Live intentionally.
Look for the fingerprints of God.
Wonder.
Think.
Ask questions.
Bring your gathered bits to the Sunday Collegium, 11 AM in the college room.
