Parables: Jesus the storyteller

Season 6 of The Collective Table

During season 6, Rev. Chelsea, Dana and Rev. Claire will be taking a deep dive into some of Jesus’ most known and beloved teachings. But these stories are not just sweet, little children’s stories meant to make us feel good. They are radical and challenging and would have been shocking to Jesus’ audience. They point to God’s grace, God’s upside-down Kin-dom, and the ways in which we are invited to respond. 

How might we resurface these stories' deeper meanings in a way that is relevant and meaningful in our lives today? How might we hear them in a new way?  Join us for this 6 part series. And fill out the form below to receive the accompanying Season 6 curriculum…coming soon.
