The Adult class that meets following worship has finished its sessions on the Reformation. They began a five week study on March 25th based on Max Lucado’s book, He Chose the Nails. The meeting dates will be April 15, 29, May 6 & 13. Based on the first lesson, this should be an informative and inspiring series.
 We have begun studying the history of the Reformation, using a study titled, “Reformation Roots.” Each lesson has a short video and questions for discussion. There are 12 lessons in the material, and we will spread them out over the fall and into 2018. The class meets following worship on December 3rd. After a long holiday break, we will resume the class on January 7th. Thank you to all who are sharing in the leadership of this class.

This year marks the 500th anniversary of reformer Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the church doors in Wittenberg, calling for a reformation of the church. This is widely considered the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. For church history buffs, this is a big deal! For the month of October we will be looking at the Protestant Reformation through worship and study.
 Bible Study will resume October 3rd! We will meet Tuesdays at 10AM for October and November, then resume after the first of the year. Please join us as we
continue our study of the book of Hebrews – we’re on to chapter 6! Newcomers are welcome.  We continue to study The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis on Wednesday nights at 6 PM. Each letter offers new insights, so please feel free to join us any Wednesday you are available. It is good to share the challenges of living the Christian life with one another.
 Lent is the season of the church year when we prepare our hearts and minds for Jesus’ death and resurrection. It is the 40 days preceding Easter, excluding Sundays. Lent began with Ash Wednesday, the day when we recall our need for God, remembering our own mortality – “dust you are and to dust you shall return.” Lenten devotional booklets are available on the back table with readings and prayers to assist you in a prayerful Lenten journey. New this year are coloring pages to complete while you meditate on the themes of the week. You will find these pages in folders on the back table.
 Join us Wednesdays at 6 PM as we continue our study of C.S. Lewis’ book, The Screwtape Letters. Each chapter has sparked a lot of discussion about what we believe and why. You are welcome to join us.
 Booklets

Next time you have a few minutes, take a look and choose one to read. Bible Study The Tuesday morning bible study is working its way through the 2nd letter to Timothy. Come join us at 10AM on Tuesdays as we discuss and learn from this letter. The Wednesday evening Bible study is now studying the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. Each letter offers new material to discuss. Books are available from the church or you may purchase your own. In February we will study letters 2-5. Sunday School Sunday school is happening for the children during Sunday worship! And we can use some volunteers to be the extra adult in the room on Sundays.
