What if everything we think we know about the afterlife is wrong? October at The Vine is a time to remember our beloved dead and ask: what happens when we die? Drawing on history, literature, science and theology, we'll look at phenomena like near-death experiences, and examine what the Bible really says about the afterlife - beyond the cliches of 'fire and brimstone.' Each week's service includes live music inspired by our search for hope and meaning in the face of loss. Fifteen minute sermon-lectures will be followed by ten minutes of conversation in small groups. Here's the lineup: • WEEK 1 (10/9): What Happens When We Die?• WEEK 2 (10/16): Hell: from Sheol to Sabrina• WEEK 3 (10/23): Purgatory and Reincarnation• WEEK 4 (10/30): Heaven Is a Place on Earth• WEEK 5 (11/6): All Saints and All SoulsBring your questions. Bring your memories. Bring your friends! It will be a rich time of exploration, remembering and togetherness.
