Sundar mornings . . .
Reclaiming the “L” Word
Beginning October 7, we will introduce an Adult Education class based on the popular Lutheran Voices book Reclaiming the “L” Word. The book, written by Kelly Fryar, covers renewing congregations by recognizing and living out the core teachings of the Lutheran faith. The book is primarily written for those who call themselves Lutheran and, specifically, those who are members of ELCA congregations, and it is intended to help us answer central questions: Who are we? What DOES it mean to be a Lutheran today, anyway? And, why does it matter? Phil Duncan will be leading our discussion on this book, and we invite all curious Lutherans (be they lifelong or newcomer) to join in on the discussion.
Prayer
Does prayer work? Does prayer change God or us? Or both? What can we really expect from prayer? These are the questions we will explore in this new program based on the best-selling Philip Yancey book Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? Join us as we probe the very heartbeat of our relationship with God. This program also begins Sunday, October 7 at 9:30 in the church sanctuary.

Matins and Wednesday Walk Bible Study
Looking for something to do on Wednesday mornings? Please join us for worship and Bible study starting at 8:45 with our Matins Morning Worship. Pastor Jonathan leads this short reflective service that helps center the morning on God. Following Matins, please stick around for Wednesday Walk Bible Study at 9:30 as we journey through the book of Exodus. Newcomers are always welcome to this study! Joanne DiBiase is the leader.
See Through Scriptures
This study will be an overview of the biblical narrative. We will study why the Old and New Testaments are important to our Christian lives as well as study what the Torah meant to Jesus and his ministry. For those looking for an in-depth study to build your spiritual relationship with God, this is the course for you! This course meets on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. through November 14.

The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe — Family Bible Study
To celebrate the Advent season, we will be watching the movie based on this wonderful C.S. Lewis novel on December 5. We invite all families for an evening of fun and adventure. During the following two Wednesdays we will study and compare the story of Aslan with the life and ministry of Jesus. This study is for the whole family! Come out and take time during the busy holiday season to focus on Jesus.
