Finding Jesus
With Rev. Stephen Shick
Jesus has been lost for a long time in the Christmas holidays and doctrines extracted from “church-approved” scriptures. This Sunday, Rev. Stephen will unwrap what some have called the “living Jesus” from all that packaging, in the hope that this might help you experience the Spirit of Life and God of Love more fully during this coming holiday season.
All are welcome to join us for conversation and light refreshments in Union Hall following the service.
“I find myself unable to believe literally the supernatural things said about Jesus in the Bible and reiterated in Christian history, yet I am still drawn deeply and expectantly into the Jesus experience.” ~ Bishop John Shelby Spong, former Episcopal Bishop of Newark
