Book of Faith Initiative
Thursdays in July: 17, 24, 31 at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
In 2007 the ELCA churchwide assembly voted to embrace an initiative called Book of

This book, Opening the Book of Faith, is your invitation to engage in this vision. Through this book and through this initiative, we will be called to experience more fully the power of the Word and to recall or learn anew the Lutheran approaches to Scripture that have been so fruitful over the centuries.
The Book of Faith initiative calls for a conversation that is deep and broad, including folks of all ages and across all the many cultures that inform who we are as a people of God. Visit the ELCA website for more information: elca.org/bookoffaith.
Join Pastor Bill in July as he leads a the study on the first book.
