NO FORMATION HOUR ON EASTER SUNDAY!


This week begins a new Formation Hour Series: 

Exploring Our Roots is a 3-part teaching about key movements in Christian history: the early church, the monastics, and the origins of the Covenant denomination. We'll take a look at key figures and ideas for each movement and explore some common themes and patterns that arise when they are compared. We'll see how the followers of Jesus have always been at their best when they were gathered around a table with the Word and prayer and challenge ourselves to follow in the footsteps of those who came before us. 

The format: 

30-45 min interactive lecture/teaching

15-20 minute small group discussion
