Celtic Christian Spirituality Minimize

Through the centuries various ways to  understand the Bible and practice rituals developed  within Christianity.  Rather than co-exist peacefully, competition developed between these schools of Christian practice. Western Christianity dominated.

This fall Pastor Bill  will offer a study on Celtic Christian Spirituality. With its emphasis on the practice of the presence of God, nature, community, and human  goodness, Celtic expressions of our faith are being re-born.

The study group begins with a travel log from Pastor Bill’s summer trip to Scotland. He  invites you to join this 10 week study to learn new ways to read Scripture, worship, and practice our faith on Wednesdays beginning Sept. 15, 1:30 p.m. at church, and 7:15 p.m. at Pastor’s home. 

The Celtic Way by Ian Bradley will guide the study. Books are available for $12 from Pastor.

Adult Small Groups

  The Living the Questions study group will resume on Sundays after worship this fall. Contact Ben at Ben@GetBen.com if you have questions, to access your copy of the web based study guide, or to volunteer to lead one week’s discussion.
