Sunday Study: The Gospel According to Mark
This is a careful study of the second Gospel. We will consider the powerful presentation of Jesus and His Kingdom in Mark, paying attention to the text, the story, and how it impacts us today. Sunday mornings at 9:30 in Fellowship Hall.

First Sunday of Each Month: Tough Topics
This is a stand alone study of an issue that is rarely dealt with in a sermon or in bible study. In this class, we discuss issues ranging from being married to unbelievers, homosexuality, co-habitation, divorce, slavery in the bible, science and religion, and many more. The approach is to explore the Word of God and then a suggested Christian response.
Coming up on June 4th: Three Models of the End Times in the Christ Event

Young Adult Bible Study
A study on James K. A. Smith’s You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit starting in January. Tuesdays at 5:00 p.m., Parsonage (currently suspended)

Midweek Wednesday Bible Study: Complicated Characters of the Bible
This study begins Wednesday, May 3rd and will run through May 31st. This study looks at five characters in the Scriptures (Jacob, Samson, Elijah, Judas, Peter) that have challenging aspects to their portrayal. We will look at their story arc and discuss God’s faithfulness even despite some of their flaws or as in the case of Judas, his betrayal.

Catechesis and Formation
These classes engage in Luther’s Catechisms, the Holy Scriptures, the Psalter, the Lutheran hymnody, the liturgy and more. The aim and goal is not only to prepare for the Rite of Confirmation, but to be refreshed in Lutheran theology and practice, and to learn how the faith is lived daily. Please come and be formed and shaped by the Word of Christ! All are welcome! Currently on hiatus.

Sunday School
“We cannot perpetuate these and other teachings, unless we train the people who come after us to succeed us in our office and work, so that they in turn may bring up their children successfully. In this way God’s Word and a Christian community will be preserved. Therefore let all heads of household remember that it is their duty, by God’s injunction and command, to teach their children or have them taught the things they ought to know.” Martin Luther, The Large Catechism.
Sunday 9:30 in the Elevator Room.
