Discussion Forum on Christians and Politics
Sunday, September 26 following the worship service @ the church
The elders will be a leading a discussion forum on our faith and how it applies to the current political situation in the United States.
Our conversation will focus generally on these topics:
* What are the fears and concerns we have about the political situation we find ourselves in today?
* What does the Bible and the Gospel have to say about our concerns?
* What does it mean to live as a follower of Jesus in the world of politics?
If anyone has questions or concerns that they would not feel comfortable discussing in a large group format, please feel free to contact
one of the elders: Larry Palmer, Mark Gelinas and Nathan Hall. We will be happy to speak to you privately.
