SUMMARY:Thursday Afternoon bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a place to grow in your faith\, ask meaningful questions\, and connect with others? You’re invited to join us for Thursday Afternoon Bible Study\, beginning September 10. \nOur first study of the season will be Half Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn’t Say by Adam Hamilton. \nWe’ve all heard familiar sayings like “Everything happens for a reason” or “God helps those who help themselves.” They may sound biblical—but are they? In Half Truths\, Adam Hamilton takes a thoughtful and engaging look at several common phrases\, exploring the truth they contain\, where they can lead us astray\, and what Scripture actually teaches. \nWhether you’ve participated in Bible studies for years or are simply curious and looking for a place to begin\, you are welcome. Come as you are\, bring your questions\, and join the conversation. \nThursday Afternoon Bible Study\nSeptember 10–October 15\n1:00–2:30 p.m.\nRoom 207 \nNo registration is needed. \nThe book is available through Amazon for approximately $9.89 or may be ordered through your local bookstore. \nFor more information\, contact Linda Mahan at 734-478-6894. \nWe hope you’ll join us as we discover together how moving beyond easy answers and familiar sayings can lead us toward a deeper\, more thoughtful faith.

SUMMARY:Souper Sunday Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Souper Sunday: Jesus Was a Migrant\nSunday\, October 4 | 5:00 p.m. | Grams Hall \nOur Souper Sunday Speaker Series returns this fall with an evening of film\, conversation\, food\, and fellowship. \nWe’ll begin with a screening of Jesus Was a Migrant\, a short documentary executive-produced by historian and author Dr. Jemar Tisby. The film travels to the U.S.-Mexico border and invites viewers to consider questions about migration\, asylum\, and what Christian faith asks of us in responding to our neighbors. \nFollowing the film\, we’ll have an opportunity for open discussion before gathering around tables for a shared meal and facilitated small-group conversation. \nSouper Sundays are designed to create space for learning\, thoughtful conversation\, and connection—even when the subjects we explore are complex. You don’t need to come with all the answers. Come ready to listen\, learn\, share a meal\, and get to know others around the table. \nA freewill offering will be received to help offset the cost of screening the film. \nAll are welcome.
