Weekday Bible Study

A new Bible Study for women and men will begin on Monday, October 17, 2011, at 12:30 p.m. We will be studying the Beatitudes (from Luke and Matthew) and all who are interested are invited to join this challenging opportunity. Rev. Harriet Isbell and Rev. Barbara McKee will be co-teachers/facilitators for the class. The study is based on one lesson per month for nine months. Bring a sack lunch and we will meet in Room 28.

In Confessing the Beatitudes, Margaret Aymer focuses on the teachings of Jesus, Matthew and Luke, helping readers connect faith with daily life. By accompanying readers through a process of reflection and confession, she addresses some of the most difficult issues facing the world today: the economy, hunger, poverty, Christian community, water issues, a woman's role in society, faith and public life and justice and peace.
