This is the final week of the Adult Ed class, The Whole Christ - Law, Gospel, and the Marrow Controversy: What does an 18th-century debate in Scotland have to do with us? In the Whole Christ, Sinclair Ferguson revisits the Marrow Controversy to illuminate the relationship of law and gospel.

Sick Policy
We want to promote a healthy church community this winter and ask that you be sensitive of others when feeling unwell. Parents are asked to adhere to our sick policy when determining whether it is appropriate for a child to attend nursery or children's classes. Volunteer and teachers are asked to follow these guidelines as well.

Boston Fellows February 17
This Saturday at MIT: Belligerents or Brothers? Faith and Science Examined. Science and religion are locked in eternal conflict - or so we are told. Prof. Ian Hutchinson, professor of nuclear science and engineering at MIT, disagrees. In a pair of lectures, Prof. Hutchinson will draw on his own experience as a research scientist and from the history of the relationship between science and religion to demonstrate that, far from being opposed to one another, the knowledge we gain from science and faith may complement and benefit one another. Prof. Hutchinson’s second lecture will explore a case study in cooperation between science and theology from his own work addressing the challenges of sustainable energy. This free event will be held on February 17 from 10am to 3pm (lunch is provided), at MIT (Building E51, Room 345), and is sponsored by Boston Fellows and RUF. Space is limited; please RSVP here to reserve your spot! Contact Nathan Barczi with questions.
