60 Days: Bible Study with Dr. Jim Keck

Nov 6, 13, 20, 6:15-7:30pm, Pilgrim Hall. Our church is striving to immerse itself more deeply in the Bible while embracing our inclusive and loving spirit. We encourage everyone to participate in our 60-day Bible study program, with special emphasis on our Wednesday gatherings. We hope that many members of our congregation will be able to attend at least five of these sessions.

When we open the Bible together we grow in love.

Mysticism - Exploring Spiritual Insight

Mysticism is the pursuit of a greater understanding of the divine, often transcending intellectual understanding or religious doctrine. Rooted in many spiritual traditions, if emphasizes sacred practices like meditation, prayer, or contemplation. Participants should plan to participate in both sessions since the initial one will be primarily a lecture format and the second, a “sharing session” where individuals can relate their personal knowledge and encounters of mystical experiences.
