Join us for a special presentation exploring the remarkable story of Christianity in Japan. Together, we will trace the early missionary movement of the 16th century, the expulsion of priests and intense persecution of Christians in the 17th century, and the nearly 200 years when the church survived underground. We will discover how the faith of the “hidden Christians” endured and evolved, and how they reemerged when Japan reopened to outsiders in the 19th century.
Sundays, February 22 - March 29 | 9:45 am | Room 200

Dr. Stacy Ikard, Senior Associate Pastor Dr. Karl Slaikeu, Ph.D., is an internationally recognized psychologist, mediator and negotiation expert Join Stacy and Karl for an in-depth look at the Apostle Paul and his struggle with church conflict in the region of Galatia in the early church. In this class, we will strive to understand the text and context of the book of Galatians, but we will also look at Paul's effectiveness as a peacemaker, and what can be learned and applied to our struggles and conflicts. At a time when division and hostility seem so very strong - in both church and society - this study is both timely and provocative!

Come to learn about these special prayers traditionally sung the week before Christmas in many Christian traditions. These are petitions for the coming of hope into the world - all taken from the Book of Isaiah. Stacy Ikard and Anne Nabors will lead us as we study the Bible, listen to the music and consider the spiritual significance of these ancient yet very relevant prayers of longing.
