Church of the Palms is an oasis in an otherwise chaotic time. We believe in an active, straightforward faith. We believe, quite simply, that to live by Jesus’ example means that we are called to love one another. We Love God. We Love Neighbor. That’s it!
We strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated.
If you are not vaccinated, we urge you to wear a mask while on campus.

CLASS QUESTIONS
Reflecting on the story of Jesus and the woman being punished for adultery:
1. Tell about a time when you got caught. Speeding? Talking in class? Cheating? Or anything else that comes to mind.
2. What’s the hardest punishment you’ve received in your life?
3. The woman’s partner is not present for judgment and punishment in this story. Tell about a time when you escaped the judgment and/or the punishment you deserved.
4. What is your biggest takeaway from this story?
