Living God, grant comfort in suffering to all who are in need of healing.
When they are afraid, give them courage; when afflicted, give them patience;
when dejected, give them hope; and when alone, assure them of the support of your holy people.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

They meet for lunch at area restaurants at 11:30 a.m. on the first Tuesday of most months to simply have fun!

Jewish Roots: The Heritage of the Christian Faith
by Mart De Haan
Friday Morning (all Fridays except for Second Fridays)
9:30 - 11 a.m.
For many followers of Christ, who was born in the lineage of King David and other prominent Jews, the connection between Judaism and Christianity never occurs to them. Often, Christians see the two faiths as being separate and almost unrelated.
This nine session Bible study was designed to help Christians see that this is just not true. In fact, the two faiths have some surprising and fascinating things in common. Mart De Haan traveled to Jerusalem to visit some key first-century locations and discuss with three Hebrew Christians the Jewish roots of Christianity.
Discover the Jewish origins of Christianity with added historical and spiritual meaning. Gain insights into the remarkable significance of Jewish religious beliefs and practices and discover who Jesus Christ really was.
