On October 1 a class began to review Tim Keller’s thought-provoking book, “The Reason for God”. We will continue to meet, covering one chapter per week, through to the end of December (for the first half of the book). Anyone interested may order a book through COS or purchase one on your own.
All are invited to attend the stimulating discussions led by our senior and resident pastors, Jack Roeda, Jana Vander Laan, and Brion Brooks (from 7:00-8:15pm in the ESL room, on the first three Wednesdays of each month). For a list of each chapter’s questions for discussion, and for an opportunity to submit your own written reflections, click on the appropriate link below:
