SUMMARY:Progressive Christianity Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:First Church’s Progressive Christians Reading Group invites new and former participants to participate this fall as the group resumes reading and discussion of selected books. \nThe first selection is Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend\, Teacher\, Savior\, Lord\, Way\, and Presence by Diana Butler Bass. This group gathers online Thursdays\, 1:00-2:15pm\, beginning Sept. 7. \nHow can you still be a Christian? This is the most common question Diana Butler Bass is asked today. It is a question that many believers ponder as they wrestle with disappointment and disillusionment in their church and its leadership. But while many Christians have left their churches\, they cannot leave their faith behind.  \nIn Freeing Jesus Bass challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static\, one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through life’s challenges in several capacities: as Friend\, Teacher\, Savior\, Lord\, Way\, and Presence.  Freeing Jesus is an invitation to leave the religious wars behind and rediscover Jesus in all his many manifestations\, to experience Jesus beyond the narrow confines we have built around him. It renews our hope in faith and worship at a time when we need it most. \nEleanor Nicholson will facilitate the discussion. \nInterested? Email Bonnie Beckonchrist at bbeckonchrist@gmail.com  for the Zoom link. A copy of the book may be borrowed from the church office.

SUMMARY:Unrelenting Grace: A United Methodist Way of Life
DESCRIPTION:A new season of Christian Adult Education at First Church begins with a fresh take on the core values of our United Methodists faith tradition. Join Ron Anderson for conversation and reflection centered on Bishop Kenneth Carter’s latest call to action and unity\, “Unrelenting Grace: A United Methodist Way of Life.” \nUnited Methodist people long to love God and serve their neighbors. “Unrelenting Grace” by Bishop Ken Carter shows us how to come together and embrace grace\, seek holiness\, and build meaningful connections promoting strength and healing. “Unrelenting Grace” evokes insights and courage to overcome feelings of isolation\, loneliness\, and alienation. As we wrestle with the effects of the pandemic\, social disruption\, and conflicts\, “Unrelenting Grace” offers guidance for stepping into the future as individuals and as communities of faith. \nCopies of Unrelenting Grace are available for purchase from the front church office for $10 \nPlease register here: https://onrealm.org/faithatfirst/PublicRegistrations/Event?linkString=NDBiZTVhNDgtYzAzNC00YmZmLWI2MmEtYjA3NDAxMWUyMWZj

SUMMARY:Covenant Hike Group
DESCRIPTION:“I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station\, through which God speaks to us every hour\, if we will only tune in.” – George Washington Carver \nThe Covenant Hike Group invites all who have a wonder of the natural world to share nature immersion with each other through 3 seasons while experiencing the presence of God. The format is simple. We begin with a brief reading (scripture or poem)\, hike along while sharing joys and concerns\, and appreciate 5 minutes of silence at mid-point. Each hike concludes with an optional\, brief time of sharing about our experiences on the hike\, closing prayer\, and a cool or hot drink! All ages are welcomed! \nBeginning Sunday October 1st\, we will meet at a designated location at 2 p.m.\, hiking various paths in our area for about an hour at a comfortable pace for everyone. The group will meet each first Sunday through May and participants may join in as schedules allow.\nAll who participate are welcomed to share in ownership. The wonder of the natural world and God’s presence in it is limitless. \nFacilitators: Jim Johnson and Lee Rader. If interested\, please contact Jim at jjohnso@luc.edu to be placed on the distribution list.
