Did you grow up in the Christian faith but still search for the right words to articulate it? Are you exploring the Christian faith? All are welcome to join us for dinner, learning, and small group conversation as we explore the tenets of the Christian faith and get to know one another better. Dinner is provided with registration. Childcare is available at no cost with pre-registration.

Community Bible Study
Meets on Thursdays | 9:15 â 10:30 a.m.
After God created Adam, God stated that âit is not goodâ that the human be alone. As people in Genesis work out how to be âin family,â they are at times extraordinarily dysfunctional or remarkably wonderful. What is constant is Godâs continual redemption of Godâs people as they learn how to relate to one another through successive generations in Genesis. For more, contact Dr. Elizabeth Lang, [email protected].
Led by Dr. Elizabeth Lang, Dr. Brady Millican, and Barbara Kennard

Gospel of John Bible Study
Meets on Tuesdays | 1 â 2 p.m. or 6 â 7 p.m.
The Gospel of John offers a different chronology of Jesusâ ministry and a different literary format to communicate the Good News. This makes the reading and study of Johnâs Gospel unique, powerful and life-giving! This in-depth, verse-by-verse study will focus on John 10 â 13. Particular attention will be given to the first century historical, geographical, literary, social, and religious context of each passage. These will provide new insights to reveal the original meaning and the intended transformational power of each passage, opening an entirely new world in understanding scripture! For more, email Tim Smith, [email protected].

Rector’s Bible Study
Join our Rector Chris Girata for a year-long exploration of Paul through his epistles and the communities who heard them. Held on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. in Saint Michael Chapel or online.
RBS Handouts
Paul, an energetic, first-century man, traveled from city to city throughout the Roman Empire talking about the One God and his âsonâ Jesus. He set up small communities of people who accepted what he said and then wrote them letters that are as explosive and fresh today as when they were first written. Paul’s teachings on Jesus, God, the world, and the essence of being genuinely human were creative, compelling, and controversial. What did he think he was doing, and why was he doing it? How did his background and upbringing lead him to speak, travel, and write in this manner? Join our rector Chris Girata in a year-long exploration of Paul through his epistles and the communities who heard them.

Lectio Divina
Meets on Thursdays, November 7 â December 19, 2024 | 2 â 3 p.m.
Take some time to get out of the hurried ways of life and the noise around us to draw close to God with others through Lectio Divina. It provides a time of meditation and quiet focusing upon a reading or even art, followed by discussion and growth with others. Lectio is not a Bible study or even an alternative to Bible study but something radically different. It understands Scripture as a meeting place for a personal encounter with the living God. All you need is a desire to be changed. For more information, contact Nancy Somodevilla [email protected].
