A Lent Sunday morning study of the Stephen Ministries book resource, “Caring Assertiveness,” will explore the essence of assertiveness, showing how this powerful but often misunderstood relational skill can be used to communicate with confidence and care in everyday encounters and challenging situations. Sara Langford and Marilyn Buhlig will lead the four-week study.

• The study will start on Sunday, March 16, and end on Sunday, April 6.

• It will meet on Sunday mornings from 10:00 to 10:45 (location TBD).

• Participants need to purchase the book. Each week, participants will read a portion of the book before Sunday morning. Then, on Sunday morning, we'll discuss the chapters we read.

• Please read the introduction and chapters 1, 2, 3, and 12 before the first meeting on March 16.

Join us for a cross-cultural experience of Ramadan during a community dinner on March 11 at 6:30 p.m. in the Social Room. This event is free, but reservations are required so we can plan for food. Register here:

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from pre-dawn to sunset. A tradition is to break the fast with family, neighbors, and friends. At the dinner, we will learn more about this event and recall the importance of Easter to our Christian faith. We’ll co-host this event with The Dialogue Institute of Kansas City and William Jewell College and hear from a speaker from The Dialogue Institute, William Jewell Chaplain Mellissa Dowling, and 2BC member Josh Hoops. 

Children of elementary age and up are welcome at the meal. Please note that we won't eat dinner until 7:25, so they might need a snack before they come. Childcare for children ages birth through pre-K is available with a reservation.

6:30-6:45 | Reception 

6:45-7:25 | Presentations about Ramadan (fasting) & Lent/Easter
