Archeological search for Jesus
St. Augustine’s Adult Forum will present “An Archeological Search for Jesus: Galilee & Beginnings” on Sunday, Dec. 7.
This series focuses on a discussion as to where Jesus was actually born; Bethlehem or Nazareth. The host for the series, Hershel Shanks, talks to eminent Jesus scholars to hear different sides of the argument. Then, guided by archeological experts, Shanks visits the remains of 1st century Nazareth and the neighboring Roman town of Sepporis, places where Jesus grew up and probably worked and played.
Lastly, he travels to the town of Capernaum to visit the remains of what is probably the very synagogue where Jesus preached at the start of his ministry.
Abraxas Communion
While based loosely on the traditional Eucharist, the Thanksgiving Communion from the Congregation of Abraxas is unique in many ways. Its theme is gratitude for the gift of life, the bounty of the earth and commitment to a world of peace, justice and love.
At the service on Sunday for Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island, participants will read from various sources other than the New Testament and invites all to feed each other as a model for feeding the world.
All are welcome. Values-based children’s religious exploration classes and childcare will be provided.
The service is at 10 a.m. at 20103 Highway 525, just north of Freeland. Click here for more information.
‘Mortals and Immortals’
The upcoming Christian Science service is “Mortals and Immortals.”
The idea of death need not darken your days and turn Life’s eternal spring into gloom. God made you in the image and likeness of eternal perfection. Connect with the joy of understanding God’s love for all spiritual ideas, the sons and daughters of God.
It begins at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 16 at the Christian Science Church, 2411 E. Highway 525.
