Sunday Morning Elective
a Bible Study
Under a Banner of Hope: A ten-week study in Isaiah
Sun Mornings June 2 - Aug 4 | 10AM | Library and Zoom
Isaiah stands first among the prophets of the Old Testament. The New Testament quotes him more than any other Hebrew prophet, more than any other book except Psalms. And no wonder! Isaiah gives us some of the most sweeping and beautiful poetry and prose in the Bible. For the early church -- and for believers through the ages -- this prophet’s words expressed what they had experienced in Jesus and helped shape the message they shared about Him to a world in need of God’s kingdom. Join us to explore how Isaiah continues to shape and inform our Christian faith today. Led by Mary-Elizabeth Ellard. Contact her at ellardw@bellsouth.net or sign-up here.

A Short Study
Sun Mornings Dec 31-Mar 3 | 10AM | Library and Zoom

The Passion and Resurrection:
An Advent study
Nov 5 - Dec 17
As we prepare for Christmas, we must keep Good Friday and Easter Sunday firmly in our minds. Join us for this five-week study (plus two optional bonus lessons) as we explore how Jesus’s Passion and Resurrection show all of God’s promises fulfilled.
The Life and Ministry of Jesus
Sep 10 - Oct 29
The Life and Ministry of Jesus
Some of our favorite stories about and from Jesus appear in the Gospel, according to Luke. Join us for this eight-week study as we explore how Luke shows God’s faithful restoration of His people in the person of Jesus Christ.
Christmas in August
Come beat the heat and dream of Christmas long, long ago. In this three-week study see how Jesus’ birth ushers in God’s rule on earth and shows God’s faithfulness to all His people. We will also introduce the themes that Luke will develop throughout his great two-volume opus Luke-Acts, a work that comprises one quarter of the New Testament.
Here I Will Dwell
The Immortal God is on a mission to make His home among mortals. Join us as we look at Eden, the Tabernacle, the Temple, Jesus, the church, and heaven as object lessons in God’s relentless desire to dwell among us.
Meeting Jesus, Encountering God
We take for granted that Jesus puts us in touch with God, but for those who met Jesus during His ministry, that discovery brought surprise and excitement. Meet Jesus as though for the first time through the eyes of those who found in Him the words of eternal life.
The Passion According to Matthew
Follow Jesus on His journey to the cross and to the empty tomb using St. Matthew’s account of Holy Week.
Returning to Discipleship
Have you meant to get back to church, but it just hasn’t happened yet? Does it feel harder as time goes by? Join us as we hear God’s Good News for us, even when we stray.
Advent and Christmas
What does the birth of Jesus have to say to us and for us? Listen in as the first witnesses to the Incarnation proclaim the Good News of God in the coming of Christ.
The Sermon on the Mount (October 23 – November 20, 2022)
Come learn about the greatest sermon ever preached by the greatest preacher ever.
What We All believe -- The Apostolic Affirmation of Faith, Chalice Hymnal #359 (September 11 - October 16, 2022)
“In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity.” But how do we know what the essentials are? On what do we all agree? Join us to explore this affirmation of faith and how, for centuries, it has given voice to essential Gospel proclamations about who God is, what God has done in Jesus, and how that shapes our hope for this life and the next.
What We All Do: Communion (July 24 - August 28, 2022)
"As often as you eat this bread and drink the cup..." This act of worship shapes everything that Christians do. Join us as we explore what communion is, how the earliest Christians understood it, what misunderstandings and mysteries have sometimes hampered its practice, and how Holy Communion can nourish us for our daily walk of faith.
What We All Do: Baptism (June 12 - July 17, 2022)
Paul says that all Christians are all bound together through "one Lord, one faith, one baptism." Join us as we explore what baptism is, where it came from, what it anticipates, and what it can mean to each of us in our daily walk of faith.
