NOOMA starts on Sunday, June
24th, when First United Methodist Church Adult Education SpiritSeekers, will begin a
12 - week discussion and film series produced by NOOMA featuring Mars Hill
Bible Church
founder Rob Bell.
Our first discussion will be
centered on the film Dust, which asks the question “Does God believe in
us?”
Join SpiritSeekers at 9:00 AM
Sunday mornings in the Church Lounge of First United Methodist Church Pasadena for good coffee and outstanding
discussion.
Rob Bell, founder of the Mars Hill Bible Church
in Grandville, Michigan, has gained rock star status,
particularly among young Christians.
Last year, Time Magazine listed him among the 100 most influential
people in the world. Although Bell has been labeled
“evangelical,” his most recent book Love Wins drew fire from
conservative church leaders. Although
Rob Bell’s theology defies easy labels, most agree that he challenges
Christians to delve more deeply into their faith. He asks the questions many of us are afraid
to ask and does not offer easy answers.
Bell received his B.A. from Wheaton
College in Wheaton,
Illinois, and his M.Div. from Fuller
Theological Seminary in Pasadena. In 2011, he stepped down from the Mars Hill
Bible Church
to pursue projects that reach a larger audience. He is reported to be returning to Southern California.
