Their Peninsula concert will be at Trinity Church, 330 Ravenswood Ave., Menlo Park on Friday October 5 at 7:00 p.m. Admission is free of charge; an offering will be taken as part of the concert.

Isaiah Seminar Wednesday Evenings

A Bible study group is meeting on Wednesdays from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Library. Each session begins with a small potluck, so you are invited to bring something to share. All are welcome, regardless of experience or expertise. Discussion is lively, engaging, thought-provoking, accessible, and always fun.

The Isaiah Seminar is a weekly gathering of scholars and laypersons where we will conduct a long term, in-depth study of the Book of Isaiah. In the Seminar we will go through Isaiah while following several scholarly commentaries.

As with the Genesis group, the seminar will be led by Scholars-in-Residence Sheldon and Denise Greaves, along with other guests. Sheldon holds a Ph.D. in ancient Near Eastern Studies from UC Berkeley; Denise a Ph.D. in Classics from Stanford University.

Please Wear Your Nametag!

At this time of year, we are blessed to have a number of new members and guests each week. Please help to welcome them by wearing your nametag (check the wooden kiosk). If you don’t yet have a nametag and would like one, please mention it to a member of the clergy or staff.
