Special Happenings This Summer!

INQUIRING MINDS FORUM (2nd Sundays of the month, around 12:30, in the Parish Hall): Similar to the Theology Study on Tuesdays during the year, this will be an opportunity to ask the big questions, and explore things you've always wondered about God, the Bible, and the Church. This would be an ideal time to invite those folks you know who have questions, doubts, or struggles, or who just simply love to explore theology that is vast and deep. We will begin gathering at 12:30, and lunch will be provided due to a generous donation from ECOHS member Matt Helms.

BOOK CLUB (Every Wednesday at 1pm in Judy's Cottage): A weekly discussion of the books the group chooses to read. The initial book will be Hymns on Paradise, by St. Ephrem the Syrian, but future books will be chosen by the group. Another great opportunity to hear the insights of your Holy Spirit family.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE AND THE EARLY CHURCH SAY ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY (June 28th and July 5th, 12:30 in the Parish Hall): A two-part series exploring what the Bible says about homosexuality, and how the Early Church lived into that. This is another great chance to introduce friends to our church.

I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY (During the Sunday services): Beginning this summer, and continuing into autumn, on the 3rd Sunday of every month, members of ECOHS will be telling their stories and their spiritual insights with us in lieu of the normal sermon. Be reached and inspired in new and exciting ways by the people in your community!

We will have 15 missioners making the trip this year...some returning, some new and some coming from as far away as Juneau, AK and Jacksonville, FL.
