The sermon this week focused on the call to Simon, Andrew, James and John to leave their familiar surroundings on the Sea of Galilee and venture to the unknown to follow Jesus.
Bible study is another way to venture into the unknown but without losing sight of your familiar surroundings. Try our Christian ed offerings on Wednesday and Sunday at 10am. (Pictured above is the Wednesday group Jan. 19, 2011). We have both the Old Testament (Isaiah on Sunday) and the New Testament (Matthew on Wednesday) covered. Both are based on the same series, The Pastor’s Bible Study. Both sessions select a modest amount (about 20 verses) to read and discuss each week which you don’t have to read ahead. (We read them in class). You won’t feel "lost" if you don’t come each week. (We review what we have done). Finally, you don’t have to bring your own Bible. (We have plenty in the Parish house). We can promise honest and fruitful discussion that hopefully will give you a larger view of the Bible together with the fellowship of your fellow parishioners. (If you come on Wednesday you get a preview of the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday). We also post the Isaiah material on this web site under Adult Ed. So cast your nets into the sea and see what you catch!
