Schedule

We invite you to these Weekly Opportunities for Spiritual Growth with Rev. Dr. Timothy Smith at the Franciscan Renewal Center:

CELEBRATING WONDER:

Tuesdays, 11:00 a.m. – Noon in the Garces Rm/Piper Hall

The reason that people most often give to pollsters for not going to church is that they find it ‘”boring”.   How far removed this boredom is from the awe and wonder and mystery that nourish the Biblical faith.  Theology and doctrine separated from the sheer mystery of God are lifeless and dull.   In this series we will search out Biblical passages and practices for restoring wonder and worship to our lives and service.

STORIES OF THE KINGDOM:

Tuesdays,  7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. in the Garces Rm/Piper Hall

Jesus loved to tell stories.   They were His favorite method of teaching.  And His stories always packed a surprise at the end!  In this series we will explore the background of Jesus’ ancient Middle Eastern world and culture to better understand His stories.  Each week we will take the role of foreigners traveling to a distant time and land to cast light on His teachings about life and the Kingdom of God.

Classes are free of charge
