Lent Wednesday Classes for Preschool - Adult

Adult Study Time:
Recognizing the Stranger

  • In the gospel of Luke there is a wonderful story about the resurrected Jesus meeting two disciples on the Road to Emmaus. (Luke 24:13-35) It is one of the most vivid and intriguing stories on the New Testament. But it is also disturbing. If the risen Christ walking and talking with two of his disciples is unrecognizable, how are you and I going to ever recognize God's presence with us today? The stranger comes suddenly out of nowhere. Maybe we recognize him; maybe we don't. But it was when the disciples invited the unknown Jesus in to have dinner that the stranger became the friend. Join us for a five-part series on Wednesday evenings; Hope and Hospitality: the Stranger in our Midst. Then the Adults will go up to the Fireside room for 45 minutes of Group Time. The children will stay in Pearson. We'll all be back together at 7:30 for Vespers in the Fireside Room. Hope you can join us and invite a friend!

    This year's summer theme is: "For the Healing of the World". As Holden write in their newsletter. " We must examine the sickness and suffering of our world and of our lives-the physical ills as well as the economic, social, political, environmental, and spiritual struggles that effect people around the world. We will study how God heals, in scripture and in our lives. We will consider the roles of confession, forgiveness, reconciliation, and salvation in healing." Added to this are the always available hikes, pottery, basket making, weaving and wonderful worship. Specially programmed activities for children, ages three through High School are available in the mornings to free parents for sessions.

    Space is limited so be sure to check out the sign up sheets in the narthex or office. Talk to Pastor Howell for more information.
