Exploring Christianity (the Christian large group) meets on the first Sunday of every month at noon (usually) in the Parker Room. The purpose of these group meetings is to make available to members/congregants of LSC a forum for learning about and discussing a variety of Christian-related topics. The focus of our group discussions range from the past (the history of Christianity) to the present (current thinking from various scholars about the state of Christianity) to the future (needs for change in) Christianity.
