Are you curious about what the Bible has to say about human sexuality and why people understand it differently? The book “UnClobber” re-examines six frequently quoted passages of Scripture — often called the “clobber passages.” The author invites us to look closely at what the Bible says (and does not say) about homosexuality in such a way that breathes fresh life into assumptions and interpretations.\n\nRegister online URL:https://www.brightonfumc.org/event/unclobber-book-study/2026-04-14/ LOCATION:First United Methodist Church-Brighton Campus\, 400 E Grand River Ave\, Brighton\, MI\, 48116\, United States CATEGORIES:Church & Society,Small Groups & Classes ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.brightonfumc.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Unclobber-Study-2026.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Pastor Jon":MAILTO:jon@brightonfumc.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260419T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260419T140000 DTSTAMP:20260405T155024 CREATED:20260309T212658Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260316T201839Z UID:10002660-1776603600-1776607200@www.brightonfumc.org SUMMARY:Earth Day Cleanup DESCRIPTION:God saw everything that he had made\, and indeed\, it was very good.
