Tuesday morning bible study resumes September 18th at 10AM. We will continue our study of the book of James, picking up where we abruptly ended in May. Come and be refreshed and renewed weekly by God’s word for us.
 After a summer break, our adult education series will resume on September 9th with the final lesson in Max Lucado’s series, “He Chose the Nails.” Then on September 23rd we will begin a 5 week series on the reformer, John Calvin, considered the theological pioneer of the Presbyterian and Reformed branch of the Christian church. Following that series, we will begin several weeks of music and learning as we look at the biblical texts that are put to music in Handel’s Messiah that pertain to Advent and Christmas. It will be an exciting and informative fall of learning. I hope you can join us after worship in the back classrooms beginning September 9th.
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.
