SUMMARY:Discovery Days: Walking the Camino Trail With Us
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to drop everything and walk an ancient pilgrimage trail? Grab a cup of coffee and join us for our next Discovery Day after worship on Sunday\, July 12\, as Reverend Bryson and his son Jackson share stories\, lessons\, and pictures from their recent trek along the Camino Português. Come discover universal truths of the road\, like the absolute necessity of pacing oneself\, the literal and spiritual weight of a 20-pound backpack\, and why the real pilgrimage actually begins when you return home.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: The Great Divorce
DESCRIPTION:This “Summer Semester\,” we are intentionally stepping away from our normal routines to dive deeper into Scripture\, community traditions\, and practical ministry. As part of our program\, we’re communally reading and discussing one book per month\, June through August. July’s book is The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. This brilliant theological fantasy classic follows a bus ride from Hell to the outskirts of Heaven\, exploring the subtle choices that separate human hearts from the divine. We will use this classic text to examine the nature of free will\, pride\, and the reality of grace. We invite you to read this book and then gather to discuss it after the Sunday service on July 26\, 11:00am\, in the Multi-Purpose Room. \n  \nClick here to learn more about our Summer Syllabus.
