SUMMARY:Zooming Through Scripture
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever read the entire Bible? Ever wondered about some of the verses that get quoted all the time or wished you could ask questions in a judgment free space?

Each Monday we’ll gather on Zoom to discuss what we’ve read\, ask questions\, share insights\, and encourage one another along the journey. So come take the challenge. Read the Bible in a year. Ask the hard questions. Discover the bigger story. Let’s grow together.  \nRegister online to receive the Zoom link and meeting passcode. Contact Rev.

SUMMARY:Pub Theology
DESCRIPTION:Some questions are worth asking again. This fall\, Pub Theology returns to some of the questions that have shaped faith for centuries: Is the Bible inspired? Is God violent? Why does evil exist? Rather than searching for easy answers\, we’ll explore these conversations with curiosity\, honesty\, and one another’s wisdom. Whether you’re rooted in your beliefs\, reimagining what you’ve inherited\, or simply curious\, there’s a seat at the table. \nWe meet on the patio at Holy Grail Pub in Plano. Contact Amber Baker at amber@graceavenue.org with questions.
