2025: The Whole Story
The Whole Story invites us to dive deeper into the story behind the Bible. Together we’ll explore how scripture came to be, how it has been interpreted across time, and how we can engage it with meaningful and important questions in our modern context. This series will focus on theological reflection, a practice that helps us balance scripture with tradition, reason, and experience to discern God’s will and grow in faith.
We will be guided by Romans 12:2 (NIV): “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—[God’s] good, pleasing and perfect will.” We will engage scripture as a dynamic and living text.
This is an invitation to reflect, question, and grow in faith together, discovering how God’s story continues to shape and transform us.

The Season of Easter
Hermeneutics & the Lenses
Through Which We See
Spring is here and the sun is returning!
This Easter Season we will be putting on our literal and metaphorical sunglasses to consider the various perspectives and points of view that we use when working with scripture and doing the work of theological reflection.
What happens when we look through the eyes of a child? How do fundamentalist and progressive lenses influence how we see things? How does that perspective change over time? What do womanist and queer perspectives offer us?
It’s going to be a fascinating and fun season of learning and exploration as we continue our journey through the Whole Story.
