Ever wondered why we have so many denominations, or what each one believes? During the month of May, we’ll look at a different denomination each week to see how it is similar to United Methodism and how it differs. We’ll focus on Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, Baptist, and Evangelical traditions. Bring your cup of coffee and donut and join in the conversation! Please register using the bulletin signup, here online, or by calling Carolyn Langston at 636.200.4708.
Lively discussion and thought-provoking study are the hallmarks of this group. Beginning March 25, we’ll begin an exploration of the book of Revelation using the series “Breaking the Code.” We’ll unpack the symbolism of this perplexing book as we set it firmly in its historical context. We’ll choose a new study at the conclusion of this one and welcome your input on topics.
