Topic: Who is Your Jesus?
Our discussion will focus on 7 possible ways to see Jesus. There may be, of course, other interpretations. This discussion is not intended to be a quest for the “historical Jesus” although questions about what he actually said or did may come up.
We will do this by looking at selections from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, all from the King James Bible. A few questions that we may want to entertain (1) What views do you find most compelling? (2) What are the implications for us as individuals and as a community? (3) Does it make any difference what we believe about Jesus? (4) What role does Jesus play in your life?

March Compassion Offering
One Great Hour of Sharing

One Great Hour of Sharing®, an ecumenical offering sponsored in Lent by the United Church of Christ, provides humanitarian and disaster relief in the United States and around the world. When a disaster strikes or people are displaced or made refugees by violence or extreme poverty, you are part of the immediate response and the work for long- term recovery. Because the UCC works in partnership to churches and organizations through Global Ministries and worldwide response and recovery networks, your contributions to One Great Hour of Sharing put you in the right place at the right time for the relief, accompaniment and recovery of the most vulnerable. You meet immediate needs and you address the underlying causes that create those needs in the first place.  
You can make a donation by check, on the memo line, please write “compassion” and mail to ORUCC, 1501 Gilbert Road, Madison, WI 53711, or donate online at orucc.org. Click the brown button “Contribute” in the upper right of the home page.
