This summer, we have been taking time as a congregation to allow the Spirit to open our eyes and ears to hear and see what some of the parables of Jesus might have to say to us today.  We thought it might be helpful if you had a reading list to guide you as you consider the parable teachings.  We hope you'll enjoy working your way through these stories, and allowing Holy Spirit to reveal something new for you.
