2018 Eckhardt Mission Series

The Challenge of Jesus, with Sister Carol Perry

February 3-4, 2018

Jesus of Nazareth was like no other rabbi of his day. He came, asking questions that could not be easily answered. What might you have said when he asked, "Who do you say I am?" or "What do you want me to do for you?" When he inquires, "Is it lawful...?" he wants his hearers to wrestle with the Law in this situation, now.

Nothing has really changed for us because his questions are still current. Join us for this annual event Feb. 3 and 4. Sister Perry will lead several lectures as well as preach during our Sunday morning worship service.
