All are welcome to join Pastor Frank on Sundays from 4:00 to 5:30 for a THREE week Bible study series on "The Fullness of Christ." This series is carefully designed to help participants support, strengthen, and clarify their response to the question from Jesus posed long ago and to us today: “Who do you say that I am?” Seven have signed up – glad to welcome a few more! Those who have pre-registered received a packet of preparatory materials for tonight’s session. Several copies of this packet are available on the way out of worship if you have recently decided to come. Curious but not sure about participating in the series? COME AND SEE! If it is not for you, you can bow out.
2022-2023 PW/ Horizons Bible Study
Celebrating Sabbath:
Accepting God’s Gift of Rest and Delight
by Carol M. Bechtel
Suggestions for Leaders by Laura Mariko Cheifetz
In the nine lessons of this Bible study—with passages from Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Matthew, Luke, and Acts—we’ll consider Sabbath
-as a celebration, not a day of dreary formality
-as God’s intent for all of creation and that includes busy women too
-as one day of the week, perhaps a Sunday
-as a time to surrender unhealthy striving and frantic busyness, and instead trust God will provide
-as a reminder that life is precious and working too much is against God’s plans for our precious lives
-as a day devoted to community and justice and not exclusively to self-care
