Life Together: Sundays, 10:45 a.m.

We like to say that we prefer to put a comma after each Sunday worship service rather than a period. This simply means we don’t expect you to rush off right after our service ends. Instead, we hope that you would join us and experience all aspects of our community life. Each phase is intended to give you an opportunity to connect with God and our broader church community in a variety of ways: classes, small groups, browsing the library, or meeting a friend in our Café Fika.… Take advantage of the opportunities to grow and connect!

Life Together Gatherings — Resume Sept 14

1) It’s Not Easy Being Green (and in the Church)!
Facilitators: Mike Merchant, Mike Olson, guests
— Classroom C, Sanctuary

In 1970, public interest in care for planet earth in the U.S. awakened as Earth Day activities around the country drew millions of people. Yet the Christian community has had a complicated and fractured response to the call to care for the environment. The BCC Creation Care Team, formed in 2019, invites the congregation to more deeply explore the relationship between our faith and our relationship to planet earth.

Special guests:
Sept 28: James K Bruckner (retired ECC pastor and professor of Old Testament, author)
Oct 9: James Amadon (ECC pastor, Executive Director of Circlewood)

2) Telling the Whole Story
Facilitators: Martin Schlomer, Adria Willett-Leonardo — Classroom A

Study the Scripture texts and discuss the points and consequences of the sermon series, which will look at the whole story of the Bible.
