The Arians
April 3, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. Online and in-person
Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
We begin a series on the theological roots of Unitarianism (and Universalism). The Arians had radically different ideas about Jesus, power, the state, and God than what became orthodox Christianity. We’ll explore their thoughts and what they mean for our lives today. Caution: this may make you rethink everything you think you know about western history.
Volunteers for Sunday, April 3 Ushers: Matt Menze & Peggy Menze
Greeters: Kathy Scarpaci & Teresa Wilmot
Guest Table: Rev. Joyce Palmer & 1 more volunteer needed
Coffee Hosts: Matthew Huckstep-Fields & We Need 1 More
Please note that if you volunteer for coffee host you will need to clean up afterward and run the cups through the sanitizer.
Please join White Oak Grove CUUPs as we go back to the beginning and discuss the Wheel of the Year on April 3 at 12:30 in Deale Hall. We’ll talk about Pagan Seasons and Sabbats. Why do we celebrate what we celebrate? And why do we do it on those dates? RSVP on the Facebook event page at https://fb.me/e/2x26kdgPb
