Lay Academy continues to study Science and Religion. Dr. Andrew Newberg’s topic today, is “The Myth-Making Brain.” Jesus loved to share stories to help us ponder who we are, who created us, who created this universe, and where we are headed to. He calls his stories parables. Dr. Newberg reports scientific research which shows how our brains are designed to encourage, support, and learn from Jesus’ way of teaching. We meet at 5:30 p.m. in Room A201 in the Activities Building. Everyone welcome. Come join us and bring a friend or neighbor.
Church Tour: Week in and week out, the halls of First Presby buzz with people. We all know where the sanctuary is or where the chapel is, but how well do we really know the buildings that we call our church home? Robin Harlow and Dawn Martinez will be having a church tour for all members, new or old. Meet in the Ruffner Room on April 10, at 9:15 a.m. and we will embark on our journey through First Presby. We hope to see you there and to learn more about our church together!
