Post-Easter Sermon Series: ‘Who is Christ to you?’

Every year, during the weeks following Easter Sunday, the church explores this essential question. What difference does Christ's resurrection make in your personal life, in the life of the church, and even out in the world? This year, we are going to explore some fundamental questions of faith in conversation with the writings of Deitrich Bonhoeffer. Some people call Bonhoeffer a modern-day martyr. Others call him a spy and assassin. Before his arrest and execution by the Nazis in 1945, for a failed plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German pastor and theologian committed to walking in the ways of Jesus. Bonhoeffer’s writings on Christianity have become more relevant today than ever before. Over the next six weeks we are going to explore Bonhoeffer’s thoughts on grace, discipleship, faith, social responsibility, and even resistance, for wisdom on how we might live our faith in these complicated and challenging times.

Second Church is very proud to be one of the first churches in the United Church of Christ denomination to adopt an Open and Affirming Covenant. In 2012, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the covenant’s adoption. The covenant was amended to become more inclusive in 2016.

Parking access is from Highland and Chestnut Streets.

​

Accessibility

​

There is a parking area by the 60 Highland Street entrance with a short ramp to a door leading immediately to the sanctuary. However, the ramp is steep and the door is heavy. Alternatively:


1. Park in the lot off Chestnut Street and follow the walkway behind the building to the door with the Accessibility symbol and push the pad to open. 

​

2. Turn left at the end of the hall and left again to enter Fellowship Hall. Go to the elevator on the left at the far end of the room.


3. Call the elevator and take it to the top level.


4. Exit the room and turn left to enter the sanctuary.
