Banished! City forbids Bible studies in homes

The city of Gilbert, Ariz., has ordered a group of seven adults to stop gathering for Bible studies in a private home because such meetings are forbidden by the city's zoning codes.

The issue was brought to a head when city officials wrote a letter to a pastor and his wife informing them they had 10 days to quit having the meetings in their private home.

Follow the Final Footsteps of Jesus at PTCUMC

On Saturday, March 27, Peachtree City United Methodist Church invites all families in the community to take a “Journey to the Tomb,” an event depicting the final days in the life of Jesus.

Set outside in a wooded area behind the church, the journey includes six interactive stations that bring to life the actions of Jesus on Palm Sunday, in the Garden of Gethsemane, during the Last Supper, his Crucifixion and culminating with his Resurrection.

All stations are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages.

Journeys will begin every 10 minutes from 3:00 - 5:00 PM in the back parking area at our worship campus at 225 Robinson Road. The event will conclude with an exciting Easter celebration in the PTCUMC Scout Lodge.

While waiting for departures to begin, guests can visit the Jerusalem Marketplace, which will immerse participants in Bible-times culture: taste and smell new foods, explore new traditions, and discover the many interesting and exciting aspects of the culture in which Jesus lived.

Guests are encouraged to sign up in advance for a departure time at JourneyRSVP@gmail.com.

There is no charge for this interactive experience. For more information contact the church at 770.487.6499 ext. 249 or go to www.ptcumc.org.
