On Sunday mornings at 9:15, between Labor Day and Memorial Day weekends, we gather around the table in Room 2 to discuss our lives, our hopes, our faith, and what we're finding in the Bible passages we read together. Expect laughter and some aha moments, too.
Our topics touch on faith practices, books of the Bible, and the modern-day life of faith. Read on to learn about our first series for this fall and past topics. (And although we have "series," you can join us any Sunday and expect to be able to jump right in.)

January and February: On Sharing the Light of Christ
During the Epiphany season (the weeks between Christmas and Lent), we have some timely topics to consider. On January 6, we celebrate the visit of the "three kings" to the baby Jesus, and in class we'll read the story from Matthew carefully to find what it offers beyond a charming (?) tale. On January 13, we'll preview our February study called "Multiple Meanings," in which Mark Allan Powell, a professor of New Testament, shares insights from engaging in Bible study with people from different cultures. And on January 20, we begin a four-week series called Being the Body of Christ. We will use each week's reading from 1 Corinthians to explore what it means to be the church, the "body of Christ" in the world. Here's our schedule for January:

Past Topics
During the fall of 2018, we discussed the theology of Martin Luther, did a Bible study of passages from Mark, and explored themes related to preparing for Christmas. During the 2017-18 year, we did Bible studies based on The Story, a book of Bible readings arranged to tell a story across time from God's creation through the lives of faithful people in the Old Testament to the death and resurrection of Jesus and the foundations of the church. During the 2016-17 year, we dug into 1 Timothy and 1 Peter (two New Testament letters), considered how gratitude can shape our attitudes and how we use our resources, explored the identity of John the Baptist, learned about the experiences of Christians in India, and got down to basics with a study of Luther's Small Catechism.
