Extra-Grace Required
Sabbath School



More than 50 enjoyed the annual Soup and Carols at Chuck & Dorane's

  

studying together

We are currently reading and discussing Tim Keller's book Jesus the King: Exploring the Life & Death of the Son of God, which is based on the biblical book of Mark. 

who we are

We are a community who acknowledges that our status is "Extra Grace Required" -- saved by God's grace through faith, on the journey of grace together. Join our circle for prayer and discussion every Sabbath at 10:30, in-person in Room 1 or on Zoom. We set up in a circle to emphasize that every person, regulars and guests, has equal value in adding to the conversation. All are welcome to join in this weekly gathering!
