Theology on Tap

Theology on Tap is for young adults (defined broadly and by those who want to attend) who are interested in theological discussion. We meet every other Sunday at a local restaurant/bar (often ABC Brewing Company in Harrisburg) for food, fellowship, beer, and conversation around an article. For more information, dates, and the articles being read, please or see the blog at (http:ladyburg.typepad.com/theo_on_tap) or talk to Kelly Wiant-Thralls.

Shema Circle

Shema Circle Retreats are open to all members of the church. The name Shema is from Deuteronomy 6:4&5 which states, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.” Shema is the Hebrew word for “hear.” Shema Circle Retreats give participants an opportunity to participate in a variety of spiritual practices, find quiet space, spend time in nature, and fellowship with other seekers. Please talk to Kelly Wiant-Thralls or Nancy Sheets for more information.
