Know someone ready to give up on the Bible? [Church Anew]


Hello Reader,

You probably have met more than a few people who have wrestled with parts of the Bible. Maybe you've found yourself in that place, too, from time to time?!

To provide a space for reflection and conversation on this topic we've crafted an evening to wrestle with and reimagine our relationship with the scriptures...and we wanted to invite you and your faith community to join us (keep reading for group pricing info)!

Voices of Persistence (on not giving up on the Bible) will take place on Sunday evening, April 21 in Eden Prairie, MN and online.

The event will feature an amazing array of speakers (Ana Carter Florence, Jeff Chu, Joe Davis, Mihee Kim-Kort, Matthew Ian Fleming, and Winnie Varghese) and beautiful music by Amy Courts Koopman and Paul Koopman. There will also be time for Q&A.
