Spring 2023 Speaker Schedule

Picture
ULC is blessed by the richness and diversity of its members, many of whom have ties to Michigan State University, state government, and a variety of local and national organizations. Each Sunday from September to mid-May, members have the opportunity to hear presentations and participate in discussions on a wide variety of topics.

We gather in person and via Zoom after our Sunday service at 11:30am ET.  Grab a cup of coffee  after the service is over to enjoy a few minutes of informal conversation prior to the presentation. 

This spring Pastor Gary will present a 3-part video course by David Rhoads:  The Dramatic Presentation of Paul’s Letter to the Galatians.
 
 "Paul's letter to the Galatians was drafted for the purposes of being performed," says David Rhoads. "All the books in the New Testament are like that. When they were written, 95 percent of the people couldn't read. The books were meant to be experienced as drama.….As biblical scholars, we spend all our time studying texts. But that's like a musicologist who never goes to a concert or a Shakespearean scholar who never sees a play. We've lost the dramatic experience of these pieces."

Pub Theology is led by Pastor Gary and meets on the last Tuesday of the month from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. on Zoom.  Pub Theology is an informal discussion focused on four or five questions each month that often revolve around a specific theme.  This is a great time for fellowship and to discuss matters of the faith. Invite a friend and bring your questions about God and faith. Beer, Conversation and God!
