Sundays at 10:15 AM:
“A Small Catechism on Human Life”
One of the most common and constant features of human life (as we currently know it!) is death. What happens when death comes? How does the catechism teach us to understand and approach death? What joy does Christ give to us people in the midst of death? In the church hall.
“The Great and Holy Week”
Lent culminates in Holy Week, the week before Easter. What did Jesus do during that week? How does it speak to you today? Each Sunday, we will study what Scripture tells us about that week, and how those events illuminate the work of God for sinners. We will also learn how the historical events of Holy Week shape the worship of the Church, and how they may deepen your daily devotion. The study will be held every Sunday starting February 26, 10:15 AM in the church hall.
Tuesdays at 9:00 AM:
“The Letters of St. John”
In addition to writing a gospel, St John the Apostle wrote three letters to the churches that he shepherded. What do these letters teach us about love? The Holy Trinity? The anti-Christ? The presence of Jesus in human flesh? Christian faithfulness? In the church hall.
Thursdays, 7:00 AM: Men’s Breakfast
“Ezra and Nehemiah”
The Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah remind us that God does not abandon His people, but calls them back to Him in repentance and renewal. Around food and fellllowship, this class examines both the history of Israel’s return from exile and how God calls His sinful children home today. Held in the church hall
Breakfast is served every week.
