Quarterly “Christianity & Current Events” – Join us in considering current events and how the Christian is called to understand them in light of God’s holy will for His creation. This class helps participants recognize God’s holy will for daily life as daily life plays out in society; and the discussion encourages Christians to consider that lives confident in Christ Jesus may live with patience and long-suffering, recognizing the godly role of government and its accountability to Him, and resisting the idolatries of daily life that remove from us the joy of a peaceable and quiet life.
