SPECIAL EVENTS
July 5-11 | Alaska
This summer, we’re thrilled to partner with Praying Pelicans Mission for an incredible journey to Alaska! Known for its breathtaking landscapes and welcoming communities, Alaska is a vast land with unique challenges. Home to around 730,000 people, half of whom live in cities like Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, many Alaskans reside in remote areas only accessible by planes, boats, and ATVs. Despite its natural beauty and vibrant summer tourism, Alaska faces deep struggles, including poverty, homelessness, mental health issues, and addiction. On this mission trip, you’ll team up with local churches, nonprofits, and Christian camps to make a positive impact.

STUDIES & READINGS
Sundays, June 1 - August 10 | 9:45 am | Room 200
Scripture calls us to honor Christ and be ready to explain the hope within us (1 Peter 3:15). In this ten-week series, we’ll explore key questions of the Christian faith—Jesus’ identity and resurrection, the existence of God, the Trinity, scripture’s reliability, and the problem of evil. We’ll also look at how faith is best defended through faithful living, learning from the lives of Polycarp, Father Damien, Maximilian Kolbe, and C.S. Lewis.
Mondays, June & July | 9:30 am | Zoom
Join us for WordPlay, a Monday morning Zoom Bible study that brings the ancient words of Scripture to life. We’ll be following the scriptures used in our sermon series and discussing the context, translation choices, and hermeneutical approaches. Led by our pastors, this study reveals how Scripture shapes our preaching, liturgy, and lives. Register on Realm for Zoom link.

Contemplative Christian practice quiets the mind to allow for the experience of God’s presence in that moment and (eventually) in every aspect of life. Our Contemplative Christianity class offers the opportunity for group study, discussion, and experience of this ancient-yet-modern Christian approach to knowing God. We share a group reading and discussion, often accompanied by a practice opportunity.
Janis Claflin facilitates the class and is happy to answer questions, 512-657-5498, jcforpeace@gmail.com.
Tuesdays | 8 am | Zoom
Join this small group of men who read through the Bible, explore the context in which it was written and discuss its meaning for our lives today. Contact Bill Allaway for a Zoom invite.
