Elisha
From his roots as a farmer, he was called to become a prophet. After being apprentice to Elijah, he became a master in his own right. Come join us as we walk through the life of Elisha. June 3 – 1 Kings 19:1-21 June 10 – 2 Kings 2:1-18 June 17 – 2 Kings 2:19-22 […]

Q & A: Get your questions answered!

Sharing Stories: We are part of the great story of God and the people. We are part of our own stories and others’ too. We are part of the story of the world. As we listen and share, we join our hearts with each other. And, in listening to the Spirit in the midst of […]
