And Also With You

Today, Christopher Beaman and Phae Smith sit down with MPPC Associate Pastor for Children and Their Families, Lisa Hickman, to discuss a daunting topic: SCRIPTURE. What is the role of scripture in our faith? How are we supposed to interpret it, and where do we even begin? We know that scripture is the word of God, but what do we do with all the messiness? Jump into this complex topic with us, knowing that God is with us in this sacred space! To quote theologian Fredrick Buechner, “If you look at a window, you see flyspecks, dust, the crack where Junior’s Frisbee hit it. If you look through a window, you see the world beyond. Something like this is the difference between those who see the Bible as a holy bore and those who see it as the Word of God, which speaks out of the depths of an almost unimaginable past into the depths of ourselves.”

What is And Also With You?

Produced by the youth of Myers Park Pres – We acknowledge that we are called to respond to God and each other. In fact, we do it every Sunday as we pass the peace of Christ. We strive to receive that peace with openness and reciprocate that peace with others.

And Also With You is a space to take notice of God in the midst of our crazy lives. A God that is inviting us to engage and actively participate in bringing about the Kingdom. Peace be with you.
