 This Fall We Will Have a Different Study Every Month All studies will be Sunday Mornings from 9:00 - 9:50 Meeting in the Library During the Month of September Beginning September 16 Letting the Bible Speak to You Do you read a passage and say, “Huh?” Do you feel that you need to have a scholar or study guide interpret for you? Does your lack of biblical knowledge keep you quiet during discussions? If any of these statements describe you, consider attending a three-week introductory course on “The ABC Strategy for Studying the Bible”. The emphasis of this study is on accessible, practical, personal application of scripture. The goal is a sense of expectation of meeting with God when you sit down with the Word.  During the Month of October Beginning Oct. 7 You've Got Mail: A Letter from James James, the brother of Jesus, has written us a letter that closely follows that of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. It reads like a collection of short homilies and deals with issues that we struggle with today such as snobbery, an uncontrolled tongue,trusting in material prosperity and more. Using the ABC Strategy for studying the Bible, we allow James to speak to us directly.  During the Month of November Beginning Nov. 4 Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks We know gratitude is good, so why do so many of us find it hard to sustain a meaningful life of gratefulness? In this book, Diana Butler Bass helps us to see gratitude as a path to greater connection with God, others, the world and even our souls. This book is both inspirational and practical. This may be our most meaningful Thanksgiving yet!  During the Month of December Beginning December 2 The Redemption of Scrooge is based on Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol and will explore the world of Ebeneser Scrooge, Tiny Tim, and the Cratdhits with an eye to Christian Faith. We will meet the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come and learn about living with and for others in a world blessed by Jesus.
