For followers of Jesus, one of the biggest challenges is learning how to “count it all joy!” when we are facing hardship. James, a leader in the church of Jerusalem, wrote a letter that addresses that very thing.

On five Monday mornings (Aug 21, 28, Sept 11, 18, and 25; skipping Labor Day), we will be gathering together to read and reflect on James’ epistle. The purpose? To practice reading a New Testament epistle and to learn from this faithful pastor how we can experience true joy when facing trials.

This class will meet online, each Monday, from 9 until 10:30 am (EST). You’ll need to register (it’s free to attend) so that we can send you the link for the class as well as weekly study guides to help with the discussions.
