Three Adult Christian Growth and Discipleship Opportunities (below) -- 6 to 7:30 pm
Bible Study: Revelation
Teacher: Rev. Ralph Kieneker
Location: WSN Sanctuary
Whether you are relatively new to faith and Scripture or a seasoned veteran, this study of the last book of the Bible - the Revelation of Jesus Christ given to and recorded by John - will be a good place and way to grow with others. You will not only gain a deeper understanding of the Revelation, but also all of Scripture. The book itself gathers together, interweaves, and integrates stories, images, and themes from all preceding books in the Bible. So this study will not only provide a sort of overview/survey of all Scripture, but will also aid participants in how to read, interpret, and mature in living the Bible, for all it’s worth! (Continuation of Fall class, but prior participation is not a prequisite for Winter.)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Teachers: Rev. Dan Wodrich and Dr. Melanie Saint James
Location: WSN Room 18-20
Following Jesus involves movement in community – living and walking with Him in the company of others. This class will survey and explore “next steps” practices beneficial to Christians over the centuries as they have followed Jesus across the varying seasons of their lives. You will be encouraged and instructed in ways to listen to and for the Lord’s voice and His call upon you. The aim is to nurture your cooperation with Him as His Spirit works to form Christ in you and to deepen your participation in Jesus’ life with the Father and in His ministry to the world. Practices such as Spiritual reading (lectio divina) of Scripture and Christian classics; abiding prayer; Ignatian Exercises; Sabbath-keeping; communal discernment of calling; Spiritual friendship, et al, will be introduced. Familiarity with the “Mansions of the Heart” pathway for growth and/or participation in the Imago Christi “Discovery” is beneficial, but is not assumed nor a prerequisite.
