We are on a mission to discover God’s Grace, change our lives, and change the world.

We welcome you no matter where you are on you faith journey. Our welcome, just like the kingdom of God, knows no boundaries of sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, culture, gender, age, economic condition, physical or mental ability.

During the four weeks in May we will resume our discussion of “The Evolution of Judaism.”  The topic will be books of the Bible that were written between the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple at the time of Ezra and Nehemiah (~440 BCE) and the conquest of Jerusalem by Pompey (63 BCE).  On May 6 we will look at the Book of Jonah.  It is more than a big fish story.  On May 13 we will learn about the perils of Esther and her uncle.  Did you know that God isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Book of Esther?  We will also talk about some of the “improvements” to Esther found in the Apocrypha.  On May 20 we will study 1 and 2 Maccabees.  These books are not in our “regular” Bible, but are found in the Apocrypha.  These books explain the foundation for the Festival of Hanukah, but they are not included in the Jewish scriptures.  We can only guess at the reason.  Finally, on May 27 we will examine the Book of Daniel along with some additions from the Apocrypha.  Many Christians believe that Daniel is filled with cryptic (and not so cryptic) predictions of the future.

We meet each Sunday morning at 9:30 in the Parish Hall.  Come early for food and fellowship.

The Youth of St. Richard's meet every Sunday morning to discuss scripture and ask tough questions. Now they are ready to answer YOUR tough questions. Tom Irish will be at the Red Booth after the 10:30am service with the question box to collect your tough questions. The following Sunday the youth will review the questions and pick one to answer at the announcements. Please contribute to the learning and critical thinking skills of our youth by asking your deepest questions about God and the Bible.
