Adult Sunday Morning Offerings
The Sunday Morning Adult Bible Exploration Covenant Connection is studying Were You There? Finding Ourselves at the Foot of the Cross, by Erik Kolbell. This Covenant Connection meets from 9-10 a.m. Sunday mornings at the church. All are welcome to join in.
"Life today raises hundreds of questions to which the Bible does not even allude. Yet in no other book can we see ourselves better reflected. 'Were you there when they crucified my Lord?' You bet I was-in promise-making, promise-breaking Peter; in doubting Thomas; in fearful Pilate; in the centurion who was just following orders; in the crowd that gathered not to cheer but also not to protest. We were all there in all the lives of the saints and sinners who played pivotal roles in the last hours of Jesus' life. This very readable book is a mirror to our humanity and no less a window to the divine love always there for human salvation. Erik Kolbell knows his Bible but, more importantly, reads it with rare imagination."
-William Sloane Coffin, former Senior Minister of Riverside Church and author of Credo
