 Defenders of the Faith: Barry & Trudy TaitThis Sunday School class is led by both Barry and Trudy and is a discussion-based group centering on either a book of the Bible or a book such as Paul by N.T. Wright or Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. We encourage each one to read either the Biblical passage under discussion, or the chapter in the book we are considering. Joining this class means joining an intellectually challenging group where everyone’s point-of-view is respected and considered. Class opens with 10 minutes of sharing our praises and prayer requests which are brought to the Lord. The class closes with a brief benediction. The age range is 28-78. | 8:45am | Main building: 2nd floor library (Zoom offered) |

Genesis: An Inductive Bible Study (Led by Pastor Bruce Nettleton)
The first back of our Holy Scriptures contains stories that have been a source of inspiration for three major world religions. It begins… where Maria Von Trapp insists in The Sound of Music is “a very good place to start”… at the beginning. The book is not just about the beginning of the universe, though. It’s also about the beginnings of humanity’s journey with the One True God. This study will explore not only the book of Genesis, but also a toolbox for reading the Bible with a more profound level of understanding. To get the most from the class, you should expect to put in some time between class meetings reading and making notes on selected passages from Genesis.
