Bible Study and
Prayer Group
An hour of fellowship, prayer and Bible study.
Every Wednesday, 10:00 a.m.
"Called to Be God's
People"
The Bible is a record of people who were encountered by God and who
felt compelled to follow where God led. We will study stories
of God's call on the lives of Abraham, David, Ruth, Naaman , the first
disciples, Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman -- and on our lives -- and
see how they followed the leading of God's spirit.
This is an informal group, led by a team of lay leaders,
where sharing ideas, questions and personal experiences are welcomed.
Cost of the study manual is $15.00.
Sundays at 9:15 a.m. from Sept. 5 - Nov.28
"For God So Loved the World. . ." - A
study of the Gospel According to John
The Gospel according to John goes beyond the
witness of the other gospel writers to concentrate on the meaning behind
Jesus' words and actions.
In his dramatic portrayal of the ministry, death
and exaltation of Jesus, John wants us to see that Jesus' every word,
every sign, every action points to one ultimate truth: " .
. . that Jesus is the Messiah, the son of God and that through believing
you may have life in his name." (John 20:30-31). This
study will explore John's powerful gospel, which focuses on Jesus'
unique relationship to God and to humanity.
Cost of the study guide is $10.00
Thursdays 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.
Lenten Study: Remember Who You Are
Our Lenten Study this year is based
on William
Willimon's book Remember
Who You Are
In it, Willimon uses baptism as a starting
point for reflection on what it means to be a disciple in today's world.
We will explore how our Christian lives and identity are shaped
by this sacrament of water and the word, and study its significance
for our day-to-day living.
Cost of the book is $9.00.
Sundays, Feb. 13, 20, 27, March 13 and March 20. 4 p.m. –
5:30 p.m.
