Adult Weekday Classes and Bible Studies
Faith & Pop Music - Taylor's Version
Monday, Apr 29, 2024, 6:00 PMin the Chapel Conference Room
Psalm 95 begins by saying, "O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!" Music is part of the fabric of humanity and a significant part of biblical scripture. In this course, we'll explore familiar songs in new ways and challenge ourselves to see where pop music and faith intersect. Each week will feature several songs from various artists, genres, and eras (yes, including Taylor Swift!) and approach topics such as God, Peace, Exile and Restoration, Life and Death, Grace, Sin and Redemption, and Faith.
Class meets every Monday from April 22 – May 13.

Sunday, Apr 28, 2024, 10:00 AMin the Coke Room
During the season of Easter, we’ll reflect on ways we can demonstrate God’s love to those around and thereby extend to them the blessing of God’s new life. This series explores ways we ourselves are transformed by God’s love as well as concrete, everyday practices we can use to share that transformative love with others. Simple acts of presence, of listening, of service, and of sharing life together can become the means God uses to draw us closer to himself by helping us learn how to draw closer to others.
