Sunday Adult Faith Formation

Immigration: Migrants and Refuees
February 22 - March 8

This three-week Adult Faith Formation series will explore the topic of immigration through the lens of faith, history, and our shared calling as Christians. Participants will reflect on what Scripture and the Lutheran tradition teach about welcoming the stranger, caring for our neighbors, and seeking justice and peace in our communities. Pastor Carlson will facilitate conversation and learning, offering both historical context and space for thoughtful discussion about how these issues shape our life together today.

Sunday BIBLE STUDY

Each Sunday, Pastor Gregory Davis leads a study and discussion on the Gospel lesson assigned for the coming Sunday, giving congregants an opportunity to reflect on the Gospel text and let it percolate as they prepare to hear next week's sermon.

Bible Study Groups
