Fall Topic: "The Freedom of a Christian"
Our fall series explores Martin Luther's essay "The Freedom of a Christian." Nowadays, we hear a lot about freedom. But what about the freedom that is a gift of Jesus Christ? Is "freed from sin" a state we experience every day or just a pretty phrase we hear in church? Let's make it real! Surprisingly, a centuries-old essay written in Germany still resonates today.
We're discussing this 15-page essay along with other congregations in the United States in response to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's invitation to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation by reading, studying and reflecting on this Lutheran witness of the Christian faith.
If you can't be there every week, don't stay away! Each session is designed to stand on its own, and you can get the PowerPoint via Realm or on this website.

When we're back in the building ...
Other years, on Sunday mornings between Labor Day and Memorial Day weekends, we gather around the table in Room 2 to discuss our lives, our hopes, our faith, and what we're finding in the Bible passages we read together. Expect laughter and some aha moments, too.
We're studying the book of Acts, especially looking at how the first believers came to see that there was good news and they could be part of it. We'll draw connections between the questions and problems the first Christians faced and the very similar ones we come up against today. We'll look for clues as to how we, like the early believers, can walk together, loving Christ and loving all, for the sake of the world.
