Weekday Study Opportunities

Starting the week of September 11, we have three new Monday night classes (7-8:30 p.m.) and one Tuesday morning class (9-11 a.m.).

Our Monday classes are:

     First Light: Jesus and the Kingdom of God led by Jeff Wright.  Why did Jesus happen when he happened?  Why were the titles of Caesar Augustus — Divine, Son of God, God from God, Lord, Redeemer, Liberator, and Savior of the World — taken from a Roman emperor on the Palatine hill and given to a Jewish peasant on the Palestine plain?  Was it low lampoon or high treason?  Either way, the Romans were not laughing.  Jeff Wright will lead a 12-session DVD study of the historical Jesus and the Kingdom of God.

     The Gospel of Father Joe by Greg Barrett, led by Becca Hardin-Nieri.  In 2010, Becca met Greg when they traveled to Israel and Palestine with Jeff & Janet on their alternative tour.  We will be exploring the book and learning about the slums of Bangkok and a Catholic priest who lives alongside the beautiful people there.  The hope is that through these stories and our discussions we may explore a part of the world we rarely see or hear about and possibly begin to understand how our connection and disconnect tell a bit of our own story. 

     Financial Peace University led by Harry Edwards.  This 14-week study designed by Dave Ramsey introduces you to practices that will transform your financial life and bring financial peace.  If you are interested in taking this class, please contact Harry Edwards (223-0824) or the church office (223-1230).  We would like to determine how many people might be interested.

     DISCIPLE I will be held on Tuesday mornings and taught by Rachel Chappell.  Many of our members and friends have taken this extraordinary study of the New Testament.
