Talk explores taking the Bible seriously

"Taking the Bible Seriously" will be the focus of the upcoming Lifetree Cafe session on Monday, Jan. 23. The talk begins at 2 p.m.

As perhaps the best-selling, least-read book of all time, the Bible needs to be re-examined by most people. It is not something to be "believed" in, as though it has some magical powers, but to be in a relationship with, as one would be with any person or cause or issue to which we give allegiance in this life.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café meets at Jalapeño's Mexican Restaurant, 314 N. Second Ave., Sandpoint.

Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Stan at 208-304-6465 or stan@followcommunity.org.
