ADULT FAITH FORMATION OPPORTUNITIES
FALL 2021
Wednesday Adult Bible Study
Wednesdays, 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. (In person and on Zoom)
Pastor Ron will lead two sessions of the Wednesday Adult Bible Study beginning on September 15. Sessions will be held at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. each Wednesday. Participants will be able to attend in person if the renovation construction schedule permits. Each session will also be streamed live on Zoom for those who can’t attend in person. Please see regular church communications or contact the office if you need our Zoom login information.
This fall, the Wednesday Adult Bible Study will be using the Augsburg Adult Bible Study program, a year-round Bible study that is released quarterly and is based on a six-year cycle as found in the International Uniform Lesson Series (National Council of Churches). Written by an array of accomplished theologians, this series provides terrific insights into scripture through questions, prayer, suggested memorization, and daily readings. The fall session is entitled Celebrating God, and will include studies of Exodus, 2 Samuel, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, Mark, Luke, Acts, and Revelation.
Who is My Neighbor?: What the Bible Says about Refugees
Sundays, October 10, 17 10:45 a.m.
When someone asked Jesus what the most important commands were, he told him they were to love God and love your neighbor. When the questioner pressed and asked, “Who is my neighbor?”, Jesus responded with a story of cross-cultural compassion. Although they come from far away, refugees are our neighbors.
The good news is that we have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of “the least of these.” Pastor Ron will lead us in this study, provided for free by Exodus World Services, which is a great first step in learning about the plight of refugees, understanding what the Bible says about refugees, and taking practical steps to advocate for them. And in so doing, we align our lives with the truth of Scripture and the heart of God.
