Pastor Deb is offering a Lenten Study for both St. John’s and Hope United Church starting with: The Prodigal Father and Sons. Luke’s account of one of Jesus’ most famousparables is often referred to as “The Prodigal Son” but what if all three are prodigals in their own way? We’ll take time to consider the parable from each point of view, as well as what it reveals about God’s love and grace. (Pastor Deb will be using as one of the primary resources Henri Nouwen’s “The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming” but it is not necessary to have read the book.)

Starts @ 1:00pm
St. John’s Church

In 1957 St. John’s Evangelical and Reformed Church became St. John’s United Church of Christ as a result of a merger. The denominations of the Congregational Christian Church, along with Evangelical and Reformed Church joined to form United Church of Christ. UCC is a distinct and diverse community of Christians that came together as one church. They joined faith and actions and currently are over 5,000 churches with nearly one million members across the U.S. The UCC serves God in the co-creation of a just and sustainable world. The UCC is a church of "firsts," a church of extravagant welcome, and a church where "…they may all be one".
