Paul's Letter to the Romans
"Faith through Love, the Sacraments, and Grace"
Summer Sundays at 9:20 am in Smoot Conference Room AND on Zoom (adjourning before the 10:15 service)
Join us for this 9-week exploration of Paul’s Letter to the Romans—the writings that became the key influences to the development of Christian faith, theological reflections, and the development of our Christian practices.
Each session will be led by a lay person with reference to a specific portion of the text.
The sessions include curriculum videos, a study guide, and discussion questions. We will use as a guide for discussion and reference material an online course offered by the
Yale Bible Study series,
Romans. Participants are invited to find and use other sources of commentary and analysis, including study Bibles, concordances, and other books.
While it is encouraged to read the entire book of Romans, this study will take it from a theological / thematic approach. Please join us for some or all of the discussions. No need to attend every week to participate. All are welcome.

Calling All Waterers!
Help Our Memorial Garden Extension Grow!
Our new Memorial Garden Extension is planted, and we need your help to keep it beautiful! We are looking for volunteers to assist with our daily watering schedule during this dry season.
- Simple Duty: Just turn on two spigots and let them run.
- Minimal Time: The garden needs 45 to 60 minutes of water.
- Flexible Schedule: You do not need to wait around! Turn the water on, go grab a coffee or run an errand, and return to turn it off.
- Daily Need: New plants need daily care right now, even on rainy days.
