“Christianity’s Surprise: A Sure and Certain Hope” by C. Kavin Rowe
An online group study for the New Year

At its beginning Christianity was surprising, powerful, creative, world-shaking. Today in the West it is many times familiar, common, and expected, losing its power to surprise and transform. We need to recover the surprise of Christianity.  Join us in a small group study to remember and relearn the life-giving power and witness that went with being Christian at the beginning. Groups will meet online at various times throughout the week from January 4 through February 1.
