"Crossroads"
Sundays 9:00 a.m. - Library
Crossroads is a Bible study class for young adults based on
three themes: Study, Community Building, and Service.
Come join us as we begin September with a
discussion of the book
Transitions,
which is based on the book of Exodus. We will concentrate on how
we can successfully address change and the psychological
elements that accompany change…much as the Israelites had
to face during their 40- ear trek through the wilderness. As we
continue throughout the month, we will begin the 6 week small
group study, "Stories of Faith, Hope and Love."
WOW - Adult
Education Series
Beginning September 3, Adult Education Ministry will offer a 4
week series on TV and faith… watching and examining the popular
series from just a couple years ago, "Joan of Arcadia."
Facilitators will be Christy Dempsey, Ashley Lammers and others.
All adults are welcome. |
Adult Education Seminars
9:00 a.m. Sundays - In the
Lounge
September "Love of God, Love of Country"
During the month of September we
will look at love as
it pertains to God and Country. Christians have long felt a
responsibility to serving both God and country, and see them as
necessarily compatible. Yet, our division between church and
state requires us to create a division between God and Country
in our minds. Over the month, join Adult Education in an
investigation of this issue and discern how our current leaders
look at the role of public servants and disciples of God.
September 7th "War and Peace" - Chaplain Kevin Nauman
- War is a part of the
human experience; part of human civilization, yet its existence
provides challenges for those who fight and those who experience
loss. Come join us as we delve into the experience of war and
look at how a military chaplain ministers and comforts during
our most trying times.
September 14 "Starting at
Home"- Mike Foley, Tony Fulton, Ray Stevens, Deb Schorr -
Please join us as we ask questions of our local public figures
about service to God and Country. This panel will discuss issues
from their own call to public service, to the relationship
between church and state, and ultimately to their own projection
on the future of local politics.
September 21 "Religion and
Politics" - Dr. Jan Vermeer, Professor of Political Science
at Nebraska Wesleyan University
- Come explore the role of religion in American politics
throughout the history of the United States. We will not only
discuss American ideology and its connection with religion but
also the role of religion in current day politics--including the
issues surrounding the current presidential race.
September 28 "Christian Perspectives on ‘Love of God, Love of
Country'"- Rev. Dr. Andrew McDonald
Please join Rev. Dr. Andrew McDonald
for a look at how Christians see themselves within the socio-
political landscape. Are we called to serve both God and
Country? |
