Forum: Who is Jesus?
2025-12-03 18:15 - 19:00
As Christians, aren’t we supposed to know? And yet, today’s culture holds many misunderstandings about who Jesus is…how He relates to us…and what He wants from us. This new Wednesday night series with Pastor Karen invites you to learn, discuss, and discern together as we let the Gospels guide our understanding.
Once a month on Wed. at 6:15PM
Each session begins with a 15–20 minute introduction by Pastor Karen, followed by Scripture-based discussion and questions. Come to every session—or simply the ones that fit your schedule.
Upcoming topics:
October 15 – Who is Jesus?: As a part of the Triune God
November 5 – Who is Jesus?: The Beginning of the Story of Jesus…
December 3 – Who is Jesus?: The Infant as the Incarnate Nature of God
Looking ahead in 2026:
January: The Human—Child, Adolescent, Adult
February: The Transforming Nature of Jesus’ Work
March: The Advocate, The Leader, The Messiah
April: The Risen Savior
Come ready to explore, question, and deepen your faith.

Common Table Cafe - Everyone is welcome!
2026-01-28 17:00 - 18:15, 2026-02-04 17:00 - 18:15
Practicing the essence of GRACE each week, the CTC strives to provide busy people with healthy, delicious food and experience of renewal mid week. All the food is free. Donors provide us with the staples and volunteer chefs cook the meals. Our goal is to provide wonderful meals – filled with good wholesome ingredients – that fill our bodies and souls with all that we need to be whole again.
Wednesdays from 5:00 – 6:15 PM during the academic year.
We practice generosity by sharing whatever we have to offer in a free will basket that is designated for an outreach ministry in our community or greater world. It is not about paying for food or any other costs associated with the Common Table Café. It is the kind of grace we can pass along to others on the days that we have something good to add to the greater goodness of the world beyond ourselves.
We invite you to donate and/or volunteer in any way you can for our Wednesday evening meals. Please contact Carrie Miller at carrie.miller@explorepeace.org with questions or to talk further about how to become part of this important ministry.
