Lay Academy Zoom Series
Series Description:
As we encounter major crises such as the coronavirus, what are the implications for us personally, for the church, and for society? We’ll hear from some of our elders who lived through the Depression and World War II, consider the role of the church in major disasters, discuss the future of health care in the U.S., and examine ways we might prepare for the next pandemic.
