SUNDAY MORNINGS BEGINNING MAY 9, 2010 AT 9:00 A.M.

The Book of Confessions Sunday, 9:00 am in the Blue Room

Each Sunday as part of our Worship Service we respond to the reading, singing, and preaching of God’s Word in our Affirmation of Faith, the public declaration of what we believe. Most of us are familiar with The Apostle’s Creed, but you may have noticed that this is not the only creed we use to affirm our faith. We often use sections of other creeds and confessions of faith. These beliefs are rooted in Scripture and represent the church’s desire ever since the days of the early church to articulate what we believe Scripture teaches. Join us in studying the eleven creeds and confessions of faith that make up our Book of Confessions as we seek to learn how the church has wrestled with the truths of Scripture and how they have sought to apply them in their particular cultural and historical context.

Dreams of God's Faithfulness Sunday, 9:00 am in the Mill Creek Room

The Life of Joseph: Genesis 37 to 50
Joseph was a dreamer. Ultimately, his dreams would bring about the redemption of his people. In the meantime, they were a source of trouble. Join us for eight weeks as we explore a story of arrogance, jealousy, deceit, political intrigue, sexual tension and redemption. Joseph’s narrative from the book of Genesis is a messy story, but it speaks about God’s actions in a messy world. As Joseph learns, we also learn the difficulty of being chosen by God.

The Healing Ministry of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke Sunday evenings of April 25, and May 2, 9, 16, 23 7:00 pm in the Library

How did Jesus heal people? Does Jesus still heal people today? Our April and May Sunday evening Bible Study is focused on Jesus’ ministry of compassion and wholeness. We will read the Gospel of Luke, giving special attention to the accounts of the people who were healed by Jesus during his earthly ministry. These accounts, through the Holy Spirit, can inform our current understanding of how Jesus brings about healing and wholeness in the lives of people today. Rev. Sturgis Poorman will be the leader.

WEDNESDAYS

Men's Bible Study/Lunch (Fellowship Hall)

Women’s Bible Study (William Faulds Library)
Currently we are reading the book of Acts. We often look at words in the text, share commentary and historical context and then discuss the passage and how it relates to our lives today. Bring a brown bag lunch. Leader: Elaine Giese.
