COMING UP IN FEBRUARY!

Tuesdays in February, the 10:00AM Biblical Studies class will continue its examination of The Acts of the Apostles. All are welcome to join the class at any time.  Sessions are held in Fellowship Hall and are led by Senior Pastor John Danner.

Theological Studies for February & March:  Over the last hundred years Jesus Christ has been portrayed in a wide variety of ways in film.  The first February offering, Jesus Goes to the Oscars: Christ in Film,  will be held on three consecutive Wednesdays, February 1st-15th.  Each week the class will explore one or more Hollywood depictions of Christ, including "bio-pics" like The Greatest Story Ever Told, musicals like Jesus Christ Superstar,  and more controversial films like The Last Temptation of Christ and The Passion of the Christ.   Identical sessions will be offered at 10:00AM and 7:00PM in Fellowship Hall, led by Senior Pastor John Danner.  A second offering begins February 29th, as Pastor Danner presents a five-part study on interfaith relations called One God, Three Faiths: Jewish, Christian and Muslim Relations.  The class will trace the history of the relationships among these faith communities which all claim a common ancestor in Abraham.  The class will also be held in Fellowship Hall on Wednesdays through March 28th at 10:00AM and 7:00PM.
