Start of New Sunday School Classes
Join us for either of these new series during the Sunday School Hour from September 6–October 11.
Called to Life and Service
In this class we will consider the biblical concept of "calling" (vocation). We will begin generally, looking at the various ideas united by the relevant terms, then consider calling in the light of Creation, Fall, and Redemption. Finally we will zero in on the way vocation shapes our understanding of our daily work, in both the family and the broader community. Join Roger Wagner in the Chapel starting September 6.
Tracing the Themes of Scripture
The Bible is one book telling one main story. But it can be difficult to see the connections between the two testaments and the 66 books of the Bible. In this series, we will look at several overarching themes that span the whole Bible in order to become better readers of Scripture. We will also see how many of these themes find their center in Jesus. Join Pastor Sebastian in the Fellowship Hall as we grow not only in our knowledge of Scripture but also our love of Christ.
Start of Men’s Fall Bible Studies
Brothers, starting next week we will embark on a study in Philippians as we seek to stand firm and strive together. Bible studies will meet on Tuesday or Thursday mornings at 6:30 a.m. or Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m. at the Corner House. The companion text for the study, Let's Study Philippians by Sinclair Ferguson, is available for purchase on the bookshelf in the Fellowship Hall or online. Register by clicking on the image above.
