Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in Fellowship Hall and on Zoom
Grow your faith, explore your connection to the ministry of the church, and deepen your understanding of scripture and theology with our new FAITH Talks. We encourage you to consider a way to participate that will allow you to grow your faith and explore your connection to the church. Perhaps that means choosing a regular rhythm to your participation by coming the same week each month, dabbling into the talks that most intrigue you, or leaning into our theme for the year and going “all in” by becoming a regular attendee of the FAITH Talks.

Rev. Nii Addo Abrahams
January 19 at 9:30 a.m.
Fellowship Hall and on and on Zoom
How do you read the parts of the Bible that have been used to condone race-based discrimination? Oppression? Enslavement? Join us for a discussion about how American Christianity reads racism into the Bible and uses it in forming Christian theology. The conversation will be co-led by Nii Addo Abrahams, pastor at Pres House in Madison, WI, and Nikki Zimmermann, pastoral resident.
Nii Addo is a second-generation Ghanaian immigrant who spent most of his life in southwest Missouri. He has an M.A. in Religious Studies from Missouri State University and a Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. Nii says, " I believe that relationships are at the center of what it means to be God’s people. In my role at Pres House, I hope to find new ways to welcome folks into deeper relationships with God and with their neighbors. This community is a place where we can learn how all of our stories—as unique and diverse as they are—intersect with God’s story, and I consider it a privilege to be a part of that journey!"
