Rev. Heather will be holding a pre-Advent Bible study on the FOUR Thursdays in November at 1 pm. The study is called “A Child is Born” and will examine the connections between ancient birth stories and the Nativity of Jesus, using material from Jewish professor and author, Amy-Jill Levin. Levin is the first Jewish professor of New Testament to teach at Rome’s Pontifical Biblical Institute and describes herself as “an orthodox member of an Orthodox Synagogue who taught New Testament in a Christian divinity school in the buckle of the Bible Belt.”
Congregational Breakfast will be held on Saturday, November 1st at 9am.. If planning on attending, please jot your name down on the sign up sheets found in the Foyer and Coffee Room, that way the organizers can prepare accordingly. Guest Speaker to be announced.
The next regular meeting of our Knox Connex Youth will be held on Friday, November 7th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm here at the church. Youth ages 12 and up are welcome to come together for supper, activities, and faith-based dialogue. Please let us know if you’re able to attend so we have sufficient food for all.
Table Talk Conversations can be powerful. They can evoke hope, inspire dreams, and challenge opinions. Table Talk will be a safe space for conversations over a pot-luck meal when we will examine ideas of faith in our current culture, especially what it means to be “Christian”. Table Talk will be held at 6pm on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Next conversation will take place on November 5th.
