CHRISTIAN EDUCATION NEWS
FATDG
A Friday Afternoon Theological Discussion
Group is exploring Marcus Borg’s classic Meeting Jesus Again for the
First Time. FATDG may be of interest to individuals who are on a
searching and questioning faith journey. Marcus Borg, in his book,
shares his experiences growing up in a rather orthodox Christian
congregation. He carefully outlines how his questions about many of
those teachings led him to write Meeting Jesus Again for the First
Time. The meetings in the chapel at FCUCC are the 1st & 3rd Fridays
(March 7th & 21st) at 1:30 PM.
For more information contact Chuck Holmgren, #245-5870.
