Healing Resistance: Conversations on Non-Violence, Advocacy, and Solidarity in Urgent Times
Join Pastor Juan Carlos Huertas this spring for a series of conversations on the ways that the church can be an effective movement of resistance in the world today. Pastor JC believes that such resistance does not use the tools of the oppressor in thought, word, and deed, and yet the tools it uses can be effective if only we commit to this healing way together.
Theology on Tap — Hear some of the favorite stories that Jesus told, and discover how these ancient stories are still important to our flourishing. Led by Pastor Juan Carlos Huertas.

Academic Bible Study
Biblical Hebrew, Simplified: Language Insights to Deepen Your Bible Study
Sunday, January 12, 19, & 26, 11:30am-12:30pm. Led by Leah Cech.
Many of us read our Bibles in Englist and other modern languages. We may be curious about Hebrew and Greek, the languages of the Bible, and how knowledge of those languages could help us understand the Bible in a different way. At the same time, we may not wish to spend a year or more learning a new alphabet and memorizing vocabulary! That’s where this class comes in — to give you some tools and examples to understand just enough Biblical Hebrew to add powerful meaning to your study of the Old Testament.
