This fall, there will be two adult choices:  Timothy II, and Dusting Off Theology

Timothy II

On Sunday, September 11 at 9:45 am, we will be resuming our study of 2nd Timothy.  This book, written in a prison in Rome, is a farewell by the apostle Paul to his much cherished fellow pastor Timothy.  Timothy was a fellow called by God but timid by nature, and Paul encouraged him to find the courage and strength he needed in the Lord.  Come join us to study God's word and consider how we may apply sound principles to our hectic lives today.

 

Dusting Off Theology

Join Paul Smithson for a look at the core issues of the Christian faith and its teaching.  "Dusting Off Theology" is a fun video series with Dr. James Nestingen, a well-known authority on church teachings and creedal statements.  Jim has been called a "theo-logical Garrison Keillor" for his fun and insightful teachings on the Ten Commandments, Sacraments, Apostles Creed and general life within the church.  The class will involve watching segments of Jim's taped lectures to congregations followed by open discussion of the topic for the day. 

Please join us and dig deeper into your faith and our Christian heritage.
 
Feasting on The Word E-mail

"Feasting on The Word" is the curriculum selected for use in our Sunday School program for the upcoming year.  This materal provides an intentional connection between Worship and Sunday School and provides the opportunity for families to learn and live out their faith together as they study the same Bible passages.

"Feasting on The Word" provides basic background, where God is in each passage, what the Scripture means in my relationship to God, and how does the passage help us reflect God's Word in our daily lives?  Consider being part of this new adventure as a participant or as a leader!  Call the church office for more information.  Hope to see you there!
