"Fabric of Faith" Series 2025

 

“Fabric of Faith” Series Summary
From torn robes to radiant white garments, the narratives in Scripture about dire human need are threaded with God’s faithful help.  Through biblical narrative stories involving fabric, we will see how God’s presence is woven into our experiences of grief, injustice, compassion, and service.  Join us this fall as we view garments that are torn, worn, gifted, and glorified and discover how God meets us where we are and fashions new life for us.
