Implied in the name, One Hit Wonders, each topic will be contained to one evening. We hope you will hit it off (pun intended) with other participants around the topic. And we will wonder together, emphasizing wonder since these topics never lend themselves to easy answers.
Come and enjoy a meal, get the kids settled into their respective groups, and meet us in Fellowship Hall at 6:15. Contact Jo Forrest.
Wednesday, February 26 - Bible Basics
Facilitator: Laura Bentley
The synoptic Gospels, a second creation story, wisdom literature, and apocalyptic prophecy-- sitting down to read the Bible, whether alone or in a group, can be overwhelming. Are you curious about what the Bible actually is and how to read it? Would you like to have context for those verses people post across social media or wear on t-shirts? Laura Bentley will give an orientation to Scripture and facilitate conversation that will prepare anyone to listen for God's word in Bible study, worship, or devotions.
Wednesday, April 9 - No One Left to Speak
Facilitators: Dismantling Anti-Semitism Team
Most of us have heard the saying "they came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist and when they came for me there was no one left to speak for me." We can try to imagine what that is like, but our Jewish brothers and sisters don't have to imagine. They have lived it throughout their lives. And it's getting worse. Imagine someone coming and rounding up everyone at a Wednesday dinner just because we're Christians. As Christians, we can speak for our brothers and sisters of the Old Testament. In these days of increased anti-Semitism, let's spend one evening learning more about the situation today and how we can speak up for those sometimes too afraid to speak up for themselves.
Wednesday, April 30 – Westminster and Refugee Resettlement
Facilitators: Roberta Sarraf and Sandy Conley
Our refugee resettlement team has helped two families immigrate, through the proper channels, to Pittsburgh. Our team works with JFCS (Jewish Family and Community Services) through the federal refugee resettlement program. Come learn more about the amazing things Westminster is doing to help these new families acclimate to life in the United States.
