This is a study of the book of Esther, a book of the Bible that NEVER mentions God!

Throughout, we’ll see how the beautiful and courageous Esther averts disaster for her people.

The cost is only $5 / participant to cover the cost of handouts!

Explore the mysterious, beautiful, and alluring Song of Songs (aka Song of Solomon) in this video-guided study featuring Rev. Dr. Lisa M. Wolfe.  As she navigates this intricate and sometimes puzzling book, Wolfe poses some of the central questions surrounding Song of Songs:

• Who wrote it?
• What sort of people are the main characters?
• Is it based in history, mythology, or both?

As you enter into the world of the lovers Ra’yati and Dodi, you will have plenty of opportunities to laugh and even blush!  This study invites you into the adventure of re-reading and re-imagining this powerful and intriguing work of poetry and literature.

Are you interested in a 4-week study on Thursday mornings from 10:30am-12:00noon?  We hope so!

If we get enough people registered, we hope to do a 4-week study using Justo L. Gonzalez’s book, When Christ Lives In Us. In this book, the author stresses that we are not simply to follow after Jesus but are actively to carry out the ministry of Christ who transforms our lives. He considers eight aspects of Jesus’ ministry and reflects on ways they can shape and guide our ministry as Christians: Calling, Praying, Feeding, Healing, Commissioning, Teaching, Witnessing, Giving.

We have 13 copies of this book, and so long as you are willing to donate it back to the church (notes, underlines, & scribbles included), the cost would be FREE. If you choose to keep the book, the cost would be $8.

Details about this class led by Rev. Sims:

• Day / Time: Thursdays, 10:30-12:00noon – Begins July 22
• Location: Rm 301 (Genesis Class)
• Book cost: $8 (or FREE if you are willing to donate it back to the church)
• Childcare available upon request.

Join us, beginning May 6, 2010, for a study of the Lord’s Prayer using Stanley Hauerwas’ and William Willimon’s book, Lord, Teach Us:  The Lord’s Prayer and the Christian Life.  In this book, the Lord’s Prayer – the prayer taught by Jesus himself that unites Christians throughout the world – is dissected phrase by phrase in this very readable book by two eminent theologians.  From “Our Father” to “Amen,” Willimon (the 1987 Perkins Lecturer) and Hauerwas apply this ancient prayer to the whole of the Christian experience so that we come to see our life in Christian community as a reflection of these very words.

Those who want to have a better understanding of their Christian faith will benefit from this book, as will those who say this prayer regularly and by heart but who have never reflected closely on what it means to join in community and raise these petitions as Jesus instructed.

Class Details:

• Four (4) Thursdays, beginning May 6, 2010
• 10:30-12:00noon
• Rm 302 (Genesis Classroom)
• Book costs $11 each (payment must be received before the book will be ordered)
• Childcare available upon request.
• Register below!
