It’s not too late to join Pastor Steven Marsh for the Pastor’s Study! This seven-session experience on engaging and embracing the spectrum of diversity in a church that exists in a Red-and-Blue World continues September 18, 25, October 2, 16, 23, and 30, from 9:30 am-11:00 am, in the Steamers Room (Room 208). Join others who love one another and are learning how to talk and live in diversity, all the while finding their unity in Jesus and valuing the expression of ideas that cover the full spectrum of diversity. We’ll be using a book written by one of Steve’s Covenant brothers, Jack Haberer, as a resource for the study. Pick up a copy of Jack’s book, Swimming with the Sharks, from your favorite bookseller. Let’s be lifelong learners together. You may call the office (316-684-5215) to sign up for this class.
