During the Summer 2023 term, I’m leading a small group study in my home as a part of the ministry of Cathedral of Hope United Church of Christ, We’ll be studying Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way and Presence by Diana Butler Bass .
I’m creating comprehensive resources for the study and providing them to a few other small groups who will be meeting in person and one that will be meeting online. I trust, however, that there is a much wider audience. If you are a small group leader or adult discipleship coordinator or convener, please feel free to modify these materials for use in your context.
For a more complete introduction to this study, check out Freeing Jesus – Small Group Opportunities & Resources.
Additionally, please know that you are welcome to join one of the three small groups for this summer study that begins June 28 (Online), June 29 (Arlington, Texas), or June 30 (Dallas, Texas) and runs for eight weeks. To enroll, simply select the desired group from this page then enter your contact information.
