This class will be held via Zoom. Dates: October 28, November 4, November 11 Time: 6-7:30pm - "What you eat matters.” Join us for a three-week journey as we explore whole-food, plant-based living through the lens of the H.O.P.E. - What You Eat Matters documentary and a Christian, Bible-based approach to food, health, and stewardship. Together, we’ll watch portions of the documentary and reflect as a group on how our everyday food choices affect our health, our relationship with God, His creation, and others. We’ll explore what Scripture teaches about caring for the bodies God has given us, practicing self-control, showing compassion, and being faithful stewards of the world He created. We’ll consider how small, intentional changes can help us move toward greater health and vitality while bringing our choices into alignment with our faith. The focus is not on perfection or judgment, but on learning, growing, and discovering how we can honor God through the way we live and eat. Regardless of what your diet is now, if you are simply curious about taking some first steps toward healthier living, you are welcome to join us!"

This group will gather to study the Biblical concept of justice by reading and discussing Timothy Keller's book "Generous Justice: How God's Grace Makes Us Just." According to the back cover, "It is commonly thought in secular society that the Bible is one of the greatest hindrances to doing justice. Isn’t it full of regressive views? Didn’t it condone slavery? Why look to the Bible for guidance on how to have a more just society? Timothy Keller challenges these preconceived beliefs and presents the Bible as a fundamental source for promoting justice and compassion for those in need. We will read a chapter each week and discuss key takeaways as a group over a period of 8 weeks. Participants are responsible for their own copy of the book.
