Growing in Faith Class, 9:30am Sundays, Fireside Room

We commonly think that Jesus was with people only after his birth in Bethlehem and until he was taken up to heaven after his resurrection. In this class, we will consider the possibility that he may have been with people frequently for centuries before and after his incarnation. Might he even engage with us today? Led by Carl Dodrill.

Youth Care’s South Seattle shelter has asked us for help. They are looking for new and lightly used bedding for twin size beds. As well as new underwear in various sizes for men and women. If you’d like to help us in this endeavor, please bring your items to MIPC before the end of January, we will be collecting items in the Partnerships room.

Our study meets at 11:00am in the Fireside Room. 

We begin with prayer, open the Bible, and explore the text together for an hour. We have just begun our study of James. Join us! Contact: DanH@mipc.org.
