Contemporary Issues from a Christian Perspective continues this Sunday
Join us for discussion and learning about contemporary issues from a Christian perspective after church each week in the sanctuary. This week we will discuss an article entitled “A theology—and an activism—that centers struggle." Author Coltan Bernasol reflects on stories of his family’s impoverished life as peasant farmers in the Philippines and how it relates to his life as an activist and theologian in Chicago today. The recommended scripture to accompany this article is Luke 4:16-21, sometimes called “Jesus’ Mission Statement.”
A copy of the article and study guide are attached.

Bible Study
available in sanctuary and via zoom
This fall, join Pastor Deb for “Encounters with Jesus in Luke: Parables and People.” This Bible study meets Thursday afternoons at 2 p.m. in the sanctuary and will also be available on Zoom. See below for the Zoom link.
The study will roughly follow her Sunday sermons, examining the context and going into depth on Jesus’ teachings in Luke. This week we will study the parable of the persistent widow and the parable of the tax-collector and the pharisee. They are found in Luke 18:1-14.
