Adult Sunday School

Luther’s Larger Catechism: While originally intended for under-educated clergy to help them stay clear on the basics of the Faith, the Larger Catechism also was welcomed by serious-minded lay people and students during the Reformation. It was finally included (along with the Small Catechism) in the Book of Concord as one of the foundational confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Join us as we read through this challenging book of instruction and discuss what it means for us today. Meets in the Parish Hall during the Bible Study hour.

 

Katie’s Class

This class meets in the library during the Bible Study Hour. Their current topic is “The Significance of Number Patterns in Scripture.” If you are a mother who has a child (or children) in Sunday School and want to know what they are learning, feel free to join this class.

 

Wednesday

Men’s Bible Study

David: The Men’s Bible study now turns to David, the “man after God’s Own heart.” Where did he come from? How did God use him? How did he struggle with his calling, his blessing, and his failures? What promises are given to us in David? What do we have to learn from his example? We will discuss these and other questions as we trace David’s history from his great-grandmother Ruth and through 1 & 2 Samuel. Meets 6:30 am at Bob Evans on Big Hollow Road.

 

Evening Bible Study

On hiatus until January 13th.

 

Thursday

Afternoon Bible Study

The Gospel According to St. John: Sometimes simply called the "Fourth Gospel," this account of Christ's work and teaching was given as a supplement to Matthew, Mark, and Luke. John is given to focus on Jesus' divine nature, the power of His word, and that faith in Him is what brings life now and in eternity. Join us as we read through this powerful witness to Jesus. We meet at 1:00 pm in the Parish Hall.
