Adult Faith Formation

Buckle up! Sunday, February 18 through Sunday, April 14, we are going to dive into something a little bit different this winter & spring. Plan now to join us on Sundays at 4 pm on Zoom for a newly published by book from Broadleaf Books that will surely give us plenty to talk about.

God’s Monsters:  Vengeful Spirits, Deadly Angels, Hybrid Creatures, and Divine Hitmen of the Bible

By Esther J. Hamori (teacher of the popular class “Monster Heaven” at Union Theological Seminary in New York, where she is a professor of Hebrew Bible.)

Here is what Broadleaf has to say about it:

The Bible is teeming with monsters. Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. A stunning array of peculiar creatures, mind-altering spirits, and supernatural hitmen fill the biblical heavens, jarring in both their strangeness and their propensity for violence–especially on God’s behalf.

Kids from birth to age 9 are invited to come to the Squiggle Space on Sunday mornings! From 9 am—12 pm there is supervision for our youngest SpringHouse members. So bring your kids by to play, craft, and to have some fun.

Stewardship

Thank you all for your giving. From our musicians who offer their incredible talent to our streaming team, the gifts make a difference. From the checks that come in the mail that fulfill a pledge or offer a special gift in honor of something important to the regular giving that happens all online, the gifts make a difference. From tying a blanket or packing a meal to reading a lesson or attending a council meeting, your gifts make a difference. Your gifts make a difference, and our community is grateful.

SpringHouse Partners

Salem’s home is the SpringHouse Ministry Center, a shared, sustainable facility that anchors three churches with distinct identities and rich histories. Salem shares SpringHouse Ministry Center with partner congregations Lyndale United Church of Christ and First Christian Church. Learn more >
