LIVING THE QUESTIONS

Gary is offering a unique study called “Living the Questions 2.0” (LtQ2) . The study takes place at the church on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 5:30 p.m. It started on April 15. We begin with a potluck supper and then go into the sanctuary for the videos and discussion.

The last class of this month was held on Wednesday, June 16. There will be no classes during the summer. Classes will resume in September.

General Description of the Study

LtQ2 is an open-minded alternative to studies that attempt to give participants all the answers and instead strives to create an environment where participants can interact with one another in exploring what's next for Christianity. Comprised of 21 sessions, which are broken down into three independent sections of seven units each: Invitation to Journey, Reclaiming the World and Call to Covenant. LtQ2 includes participant guides with weekly readings and discussion questions. The 20-minute video segments include conversations with leading voices of faith, sermon and lecture clips, digital stories illustrating aspects of an evolving faith, and concrete spiritual practices and disciplines.

The list of participants in the video segments is very impressive. Each of them provides ideas that stimulate thought and discussion.

All are welcome to participate in our programs
