#1 Wise Women of Faith
Ancient Truth. Fresh Voices.

This summer we're exploring scripture through the insights of contemporary women who are shaping the church today. Over the course of 6 weeks, we'll engage with the writings of Anna Carter Florence, Barbara Brown Taylor, Rachel Held Evans, Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel, Lizzie McManus-Dail, Kate Bowler, and more. Through their perspectives, we'll revisit familiar scriptures, ask new questions, and discover fresh invitations to follow Jesus in our world today. Books are available at the Welcome Desk each week to read along and there's also a display of books in Fellowship if you're looking for some good summer reading.

#5 ASP Team Rocks It in TN!

OUR ASP TEAM of 63 high school & college students and adult leaders spent a very hot week serving on 9 different job sites through the Appalachia Service Project in the Johnson City, Tennessee area June 27-July 4. Thanks to all of you who prayed for them and donated in any way (the ASP Auction, filling the Red Gas Cans, etc.) to make this experience of loving and learning from neighbors possible. Join us on Sunday, August 9 as team members share their stories and witness with our congregation. In the meantime, check out our Facebook page to see them in action.
