Discovery Summer Sundays: The Book of Genesis

The Garden of Eden. The Great Flood. The Tower of Babel. The first chapters of Genesis contain some of the most spectacular, and consequential, stories in the Bible. But what if it’s time to reexamine our modern-day interpretation of these ancient narratives?  

This summer, join a parishioner-led study of Genesis 1–11. Together, we’ll rediscover a text that frames our differences not as a defect of humanity but a divine imprint — ultimately revealing diversity as God’s original blessing and intention from the very beginning.  

Hebrew Bible scholar Theodore Hiebert, member of the Mennonite Church and professor of Old Testament at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago, kicks off our series on June 7.
