FOUNDATION BIBLE STUDY NOW ON ZOOM, LINK DETAILS ABOVE

Foundation gets its name from the truth that Christ is our foundation in all things. The study focuses on exploring how our foundation in Christ transforms who we are, and how we live our lives. Open discussion and questions from participants are actively encouraged, and each class kicks off with the pastor's or vicar's conversation-starter questions. Previous study topics have included: change, community, the Sabbath, Godly leadership, Heaven, gossip, angels and demons, wrestling with God, Bible translations, comparative religion, church/state, and mercy. Meets in Fellowship Hall.

ACTS OF THE RISEN LORD ON HIATUS

ON HIATUS DUE TO CORONAVIRUS MEASURES

2019/2020 Living Way Dates: September 2019 through May 2020

• We will complete two studies in the 2019/2020 Living Way year:

1. Study of the Gospel of John: Sept. 11, 2019 to March 12, 2020
2. Study of the Book of Esther: March 25 to May 13, 2020
   

Times: Weekly on Wednesday mornings or Thursday evenings

Register online, on the sign-up sheets in the lobby, or call the church office.

Living Way is a weekly in-depth Bible study where participants begin in a large group, break into small discussion groups, and gather together for a closing lecture led by our pastors.

The Gospel of John preserves and teaches the story of Jesus with tremendous clarity and force. Often using simple words, John conveys complex truths. John 3:16, the so-called “Gospel in a nutshell,” summarizes the Christian faith well. It leaves us pondering the relationship of the Father and the Son, the uniqueness of Jesus, the meaning of faith, the threat of judgment, the blessing of eternal life, and the mystery of God’s love.

On Wednesday mornings from 9:00-10:30 a.m., men and women participate in separate small groups, with lectures in the sanctuary; Wednesday childcare is available. 

On Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m., men and women gather in a single small group in the conference room; Thursday’s Pastor-led closing lecture is a recording of the Wednesday morning lecture. Childcare available upon request

ON HIATUS DUE TO CORONAVIRUS MEASURES

Dates: Esther currently scheduled to start April 20 (a continuation of the 2019/2020 Living Way study begun with the Gospel of John, listed above.)

Please join us for the six-week study of the Book of Esther beginning Wednesday, March 25 or Thursday, March 26. Though the word “God” does not appear even once in the Book of Esther, His overruling providence is so manifestly present.

Queen Esther was an instrument in the hand of God to save the remnant of Israel, the tribe of Judah, from extermination. The Book of Esther offers a historical account of the origin of the Feast of Purim, a celebration of God’s intervention through Esther in saving the Jewish people from Haman, a Persian Empire official who was planning to kill all the Jews.
