Sunday School Starts this week
Class is back in session this Sunday from 10:00 AM to 10:45! Meet in Rev. Sarah's office while we put the finishing touches on the new classroom. This year we're using SPARK curriculum. With SPARK, kids will learn stories of the Bible and begin to explore their faith. This fall we'll be studying Genesis and Exodus. There's also an on-line resource for parents, so you can study along with your kids.

Red Tape and Church History

Red Tape's production of Henrik Ibsen's Brand has been rightly praised by the critics as being Absorbing, Ambitious, and Surreal.  However, it is also a trenchant commentary on the history of the church and of faith.  To find out more, come and see Brand on Sunday, October 23rd .  Following the performance Graeme Thomson will be presenting an informal talk and discussion on church history, church politics and how they are central to a fuller understanding both of Brand and of Ibsen.
