Wednesday, August 10th, 2022. Seeing Our Neighbors. Session Four: “Our Journey with Lewis & Clark.” Isaiah 25 and Matthew 22.

This 4th and final session of our Summer Bible Study reminds us that faith, like exploration, helps us see the world and ourselves in a new light. Lewis and Clark’s story illustrates this point. Haresh in Ukraine lives it. Scripture’s words from Isaiah 25 and Matthew 22 underscore it. As always, Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again” gets us started. Then join us for an in-person discussion after worship on August 14th.

“I Was Hungry. You Gave Me Food.” In session #3 we realize that our world hungers for more than food. Your help in Ukraine is sustaining the displaced. Like Lewis and Clark in 1804, our path and skills may need to adjust in order to reach our objectives. As always, Willie Nelson’s song gets us “On the Road Again.”
