April 19 – The Nicene Creed: what does it mean?
Winston D. Persaud, professor emeritus of systematic theology, Wartburg Theological Seminary
Read and ponder how the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed contains essentials of the Christian faith which spoke to crucial questions that arose by the fourth century of the Common Era. Together, we will ponder and interpret the confession, “We believe in one God…,” the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God alone is the source of life, healing, and forgiveness. Whether you’ve recited it hundreds of times or are hearing it fresh, come ready to explore what we believe, why it matters, and what it means for how we live.

April 26 – The state of the schools
Kathryn Kunkle, Kent Barnds, and Karen Kline-Jerome, school board members
What’s happening in our local schools — and what does the future hold? School board members from Davenport and Pleasant Valley join together for a panel discussion on the state of education in the Quad Cities. Hear about the challenges they’re navigating, the wins worth celebrating, and the exciting changes on the horizon. Come curious, come with questions, and discover how you can play a part in supporting our community’s kids and schools.

May 3 – Encountering God in creation: Theology, spirit, and the natural World
Sarah Yotter, St. Paul pastoral intern
How does God meet us in the natural world? Explore the Christian doctrine of creation alongside the work of the Holy Spirit, to consider how God is actively present in and through creation today. Together we’ll reflect on Scripture, theology, and lived experience to better recognize and interact with the Spirit’s movement in everyday life.
