Imaging the Word is a resource providing visual arts, music, photography, prose, poetry, prayers, and commentary based on each Sunday's lectionary readings. The class is open to everyone anytime.

Although knowing about the united kingdom period of Israel is helpful to us, we will spend most of our time studying King David specifically. David is a truly complicated character and absolutely integral to our understanding of Jesus Christ. Join us in person in Saint Michael Chapel or stream live online. Although not required, you are encouraged to read this year’s companion book, Exodus and Leviticus for Everyone by John Goldingay.

Learn more or stream the study on the RBS webpage.

Luke is continuing his schooling here in Dallas and Mattie is a Senior at OU. Tim and Giovanna have a cat and a Maltipoo dog as well as two granddogs.
