40s and Up Study with Kelly Sisney
Tonight at 6:30pm, join others as we discuss the book by Andy Stanley called “How Good is Good Enough?” Come discuss why Jesus taught that goodness is not even a requirement to enter heaven, and why Christianity is beyond fair. Explore what’s wrong with the most popular theory about heaven—and what it really takes to get there. The first 30 people to register will receive the booklet! (However, no book is needed for the class.) Register online at cor.org/downtown/getconnected. For questions, contact Kelly.Sisney@cor.org.

Spread the Word Through Cookies!
On each First Friday during the summer, we hand out hundreds of cookies to folks enjoying the Crossroads Art District. We are doubling our cookie order for Friday, May 4, as we want to make sure we share the news of our Grand Opening of 1601 Grand! Would you be willing to show up at 1522 McGee at 6:30 pm, grab a bag of cookies and head out to simply give cookies away?...No explanation or sales pitch needed. The cookie packaging will have our Grand Opening info! If you are able to be a “cookie greeter” please let Kelly.Sisney@cor.org know and she will send you a reminder as we get closer to May 4! (Also, we will be doing this again on June 1, the day before our opening!)
You and #MeToo: A Discussion
Join us May 7, 6:30 pm, in the 1522 McGee sanctuary, for a discussion on how we can grow as faith-filled community leaders in bringing about mutual respect in our communities. Led by Teri Classick, LCSW, and by RezDT counseling intern, Aurora Molitoris, MPH, this discussion will focus on how to add kindness to a culture of sexual harassment. Please note that this is not a processing or therapy group for survivors of abuse, but a place where all genders and ages are welcome for a discussion on possible solutions, following Pastor Adam's sermon on #MeToo, the weekend of May 5-6. Bring your own dinner, drinks and dessert will be provided. Please register at cor.org/downtown/getconnected. Contact aurora.molitoris@cor.org with questions.
