Neighborhood Congregational Church will begin its Sunday Summer Series this July 8th at 10:00 a.m., titled “The Gospel According to The Lord of the Rings”. The series will conclude on Sunday, August 12th. Since its publishing in 1954, and the release of the movies in 2001, J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy has become one of the best-selling books of all time and has been cemented as a cornerstone of the fantasy genre. Courage, Hospitality, Friendship, Resilience, Humility, and Hope are all given time in this epic tale. Come hear unique, reflective sermons by Pastor Rod Echols, exploring what the popular work means for the world today, and specifically what it means for progressive faith and living. Join us for an engaging, thoughtful series that is sure to impact children, youth, and families of all ages! All are invited. Thematic music will be included!
