Sharing your love for the Bible with new generations [Church Anew]


Hello Reader,

Wanted to jump back in your email to invite you again to our April 21-22 event, Renew 2024: Renew a love for scripture.

Many of us know and love the Bible but sometimes it can be hard to share that love with others!

There are a whole host of reasons to struggle with the Bible - contradictions, violence, questions about authorship, ethical concerns, how the reading of it has inspired so much hate-filled rhetoric...

We want to make space for a new conversation... and that is what Renew 2024 is all about. Come for a day and a half of storytelling and question asking hosted by some brilliant theological, biblical, and pastoral minds.

We promise you'll leave with:

  • a refreshed sense of your own relationship to scripture,
  • practical tools for leading in your own community,
  • and FREE access to our 2024 Bible-based Summer Series in a Box entitled, "The Good Book: Meeting Our Ancestors in Faith, One Story at a Time."

We hope to see you there!

Pastor Matthew (and the Church Anew team)

P.S. We've crafted the Sunday evening portion of this event so you can bring your church community with you! If you know people who have been wrestling with the scriptures or would love permission to reimagine their relationship with the scriptures! Learn more.
