BREWS @ BART'S
"All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, 'What does this mean?' But others sneered and said, 'They are filled with new wine.'”
- Acts 2:12-13
Challenging the perception that religion is dry, "Brews @ Bart's" was founded by Russ Tripi in 2019 as a creative means of having fun and fellowship while teaching something relevant. Extracting popular topics and lessons from his 20 years of classroom experience, Russ uses beer -- as well as humor, theatrics, audience participation (with occasional prizes), and multi-media -- to reinforce subject matter in an engaging way.
Whether you are enjoying a sample of Great Lake's "Holy Moses White Ale" while learning a witty anecdote about Moses' life, or having a taste of Brewdog's "Elvis Juice" while discerning what it truly means to be the King, this is not a typical Sunday School lesson! Exemplifying the notion that "joy" is also a fruit of the Holy Spirit, this 21+ social and educational event transforms our church hall into a Happy Hour Event not to be missed.
