Study, Prayer and Fellowship Groups
Adult Sunday School
Adult Sunday School meets each Sunday at 10:30am following the 9:00am Worship Service in the Parlor.
Beginning December 1, Adult Sunday School will start an Advent Study using the book, “The Christmas Letters.” discussing the sermons on friendship by Pastor Rob. We will use the starter questions in Bulletin to begin the conversation — come join us and share your thoughts about friendship illustrated in the Bible!
This Advent, Magrey de Vega invites you to explore some of the letters in the New Testament, the Epistles, to hear about the miracle of Christ’s birth from those who first told the story.
Romans, 1 John, Philippians, and Colossians contain the earliest attempts by the church to understand and celebrate the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
We are meant to read them as if they’re written to us, to guide us, and to teach us and help us follow Christ. Spend time with these holy, ancient words this Advent, and come to appreciate the meaning of Christ’s birth like never before.”
