Covenant Community - September 20 - November 29

The covenantal aspects of Christian community will be presented from three unique perspectives.  We begin with a study of community leaders from the Old Testament, Joshua, Gideon, Ezra and Nehemiah.  Then, from the Gospel of Mark we will see how Jesus invites the community to live in covenant with God.  The quarter then concludes with a look at what it means to be a  covenant people as seen through the First and Second Letters of Peter.

 Christ, The Fulfillment  - December 6 - February 28

 In this series, we are invited to learn about Jesus as the promised Messiah through the writings of the Gospel of Matthew.  Throughout Advent, we will study the familiar stories surrounding Christ’s birth.  Next we will explore Matthew’s study of Jesus’ ministry as evidence of Jesus as the Messiah from God.  We will complete our study of Matthew with an understanding of the testimony of the  eye witnesses to Jesus’ life, crucifixion and resurrection.

 Teachings on Community - March 7 - May 30

Our last series of the year studies how the covenant community responds to God’s call.  We start the series with a return to the Old Testament books of Jonah and Ruth for an  understanding of mission within the community.  Through a series of parables, we next   discover some of Jesus’ key teachings on community, and finish the year exploring the role of the Church in community through the letters to the Colossians, to Philemon and the letter of Jude.
