WINTER/SPRING CLASSES STARTING JANUARY 11, 2012:
“ECLIPSING EMPIRE”: Barry Lamkin will lead a 12-session DVD series by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan who trace the Apostle Paul’s footsteps throughout the Roman Empire and explore fresh insights into Paul’s message of the Kingdom of God, its challenge to Roman imperial theology, and the apostle’s radical relevance for today. Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m.
BIBLE STUDY: THE GOSPEL OF MARK Rev. Frey will lead two sessions of Bible Study on Mark’s Gospel, Wednesdays at 1:30 and 7:00 p.m. Mark is considered the first Gospel of the four we have in the Bible. A Study Book is “to-be-determined”.
“HOW THE BIBLE CAME INTO BEING”: A 3-week class led by Rev. Tom Kerns. Dates are January 11, 18, & 25 at 7:00 p.m. The topic comes from the December 2011 National Geographic Magazine. If you have a copy, please bring it to class or let Rev. Tom Kerns borrow it.
CARD MINISTRY AT 5:00: Join Cecilia Marquette in making cards for our card ministry and/or your own needs. No experience necessary, just a willingness to learn and have fun.
“ACADEMIA MEETS THE LIVING WORD”: If you would like to experience the unique factual situation behind each book of the Bible as taught at top universities, join Chuck Ausherman’s class at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesdays. Those of us who read the Bible for devotional nourishment will be enriched by digging deeper into the “How, Why & Where” the Holy Bible came into being. Each class benefits from a video/lecture by a renowned university professor followed by a discussion.
