Co-opting Jesus for the Rich
with Brian Robinson
The movement we now call Christianity underwent profound evolution in the first few centuries of its existence. This presentation will examine this evolution in the Epistle to Diognetus, a second century Christian text, and how the movement went from the radical teachings of Jesus that center the financially marginalized (poor) to a movement that secured the positions and fortunes of the wealthy. (Sweetland Hall)

Poetry of Exile and Borders: Refugees from the Middle East and Mexico Speak
with Katie Ford
Poet and Professor Katie Ford will lead a discussion of poems written by refugees and by witnesses to their plight. This adult education hour is based on the belief that if we hear the specific voices of those far from us, we are more likely to take action on their behalf. (Guild Room)

Visit our Creative Worship Space for Families in the Chapel!
Families are invited to worship together through art and play on our rug in the chapel during any part of the 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. Sunday services. Families should stay with their children as this area is not staffed. All are welcome to sit in the chapel; please be understanding whenever our youngest members make a joyful noise.

Parking on Sundays:

• On Sunday mornings, please note that the entire south-side of the North Parking Lot (just north of the church on the corner of Euclid Ave. & Walnut St.) is reserved for people with mobility difficulties.

For regular parking, follow ASC Parking signs to Plaza Las Fuentes (garage entrance on Union) or the Kaiser Parking Structure (on the northeast corner of Euclid Ave. and Walnut). Sunday parking at Plaza Las Fuentes is only validated until 1:00 p.m. — after which parking fees accrue. If you’re staying later, please park in the Kaiser Parking Structure, which is free and open until 4:00 p.m.
