Jesus often shared ministry with his disciples around the table, where they conversed, loved, learned, and shared life together. Join us for an evening of storytelling as fellow congregants share personal experiences and reflections, accompanied by musical interludes and favorite dishes prepared by the Covenant Serves Cookbook Team. We'll also share liturgies and prayers to take home and use around our own holiday tables, extending the fellowship and spirit of the evening into the season ahead. The program will also be livestreamed at covenantpresby.org/live.

 The Bible is full of stories we think we know, passages that challenge us, and words that take on new meaning in different seasons of life. Join us for a four-week Bible study as we explore four familiar biblical stories, looking beyond the interpretations we've often been taught to discover new layers of meaning and fresh insights. Along the way, we'll wrestle with passages and explore practical tools and strategies for reading Scripture with curiosity and finding meaning in its ancient words. Led by Grace Lindvall, Associate Minister of Education, and Cedric Lundy, Seminary Intern, this study welcomes everyone, whether you've been reading the Bible for decades or are just beginning. Come with your questions, your curiosity, and a willingness to discover something new together!
