Prophets and Profit June 12, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. Online and in-person Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
Throughout history, people have claimed that wealth and power are a consequence or a sign of spiritual blessing. It is the gods, or God, who has made them profitable. But others have said that it is more important to be prophetic than to make a profit. We’ll explore the relationship between faithfulness and “the bottom line.”

Urgent and Important message regarding Auctria auction bidding…
It is awkward, but if you are bidding on a place in a dinner event, you must make a new bid for each person attending.
We apologize for making it difficult, but most people seem to have figured it out and are bidding twice, if that is their intent. Thank you for your understanding!
