Coming Soon! Luke Painter, PhD, author and College UMC Constituent will teach a 5-week course entitled ‘Investigating the Origins of Christianity’ based on his book, “Finding the Roots of Christianity.” Luke says “My aim was to help readers better understand the origin and meaning of the Christian faith and Christian Bible. I meant this to be the kind of book I was looking for when I was 19 and trying to understand these things.”
Classes will be held in the Fireside Room and begin at 6:30PM. Dates are October 10th and 24th; November 7th and 21st; December 5th with the possibility of one additional class. There will be a sign-up sheet in the Narthex or you may leave a message of intent to participate at 541.929.2412. Cost is $15 which covers the cost of the book. Books will be available for purchase at the first class.
