Then on February 18th we welcome Mr. Manu Bhatt from the Hindu community. This series will challenge us to think with our hearts, as well as offer Christian hospitality to our guests. As Presbyterians we are called to not just tolerate persons of other faiths, but engage them in meaningful and honorable dialogue. Hope you can join us as well.

 

INQUIRERS’ CLASSES continues on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. in the Library. Today we gathered in the South Parlor to meet members of staff and committee representatives. On February 4 we meet back in the Library with Session, and be received into the congregation during the 10:30 worship service.

 

LISTENING ELDER  Session normally meets the 4th Tuesday of the month, but because officers elect won’t have been ordained or installed until today, they have moved their January meeting to the 30th. Myra will be available for listening in the Narthex after the worship service today. Feel welcome to convey to her any matter in our congregation’s life that you would like to have passed on to the Session.
