This I Believe
Within and outside of the Christian faith lies a whole constellation of diverse beliefs. Every Wednesday starting at 6 p.m., we’ll continue the conversations we started in worship and dive deeper into the denomination or religious tradition our guest speaker represents. Some of these may be familiar, and some of them may be new to you. Each week we’ll use the following to help us learn:
- Videos from people explaining why they love and identify with their denomination
- Official denominational or religious publications/videos/websites
- Discussion about what resonates from this tradition and what doesn’t
Note: We will not meet the Wednesday of Spring Break (March 17) or Holy Week (March 31).
