On Purpose (Sunday School Class)

April 27, 2024 by Andrew Burd-Harris 1 Comment

We are hungry for a sense of purpose, direction, and calling in our lives. That’s as basic an ingredient to the human experience as they come. We want to be part of something bigger than ourselves. We want to participate in something that has eternal merit and lasting impact. We do not want to live a shallow, hollow existence. We yearn for deeper meaning, for deeper purpose within our lives. We want to be more than we are.

In On Purpose: Finding God’s Voice in Your Passion, authors Magrey deVega, Sam McGlothlin, Jevon Caldwell-Gross, and Susan Robb help us see God’s purpose for our lives, how to open ourselves to God’s voice, and how to take the first or next step to follow God’s call. Reading this book and exploring life choices alongside others, individuals will learn how to channel their passions, hear God’s voice, and live the life they were meant to live.[1]

Participants should pick up a copy of the book On Purpose: Finding God’s Voice in Your Passion. If you would like the church to order a copy of the book for you, please contact the church office . The cost of the book is $10.50. If the cost of the book will be a problem, please talk to Pastor Andrew. If you would like to order through the church, please let us know by Sunday, May 12th.

Humor (Bible Study)

April 27, 2024 by Andrew Burd-Harris 1 Comment

Did Jesus laugh? Was there humor in Jesus’ voice when he said things like, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God” (Matthew 10:25, NRSV)? Did the Apostle Paul have a smile on his face as he dictated his famous letters to the early Christian churches? Join Pastor Andrew for a Bible Study this May as we wrestle with humor hidden in the Bible.

Each study will be on Zoon and in-person on most Mondays in Lent. We will start at 7 PM for each class. The schedule is below. All are welcome.

Schedule

  • May 6-Laughing and Babies (Genesis 17: 1-17 & Genesis 18: 1-15)
  • May 13-Laughing at the Absurd (Matthew 5: 29; 7:3-5; 19:24, Galatians 5:12, 1 Corinthians 4:10, Philippians 3: 2-4)
  • May 20-Humor in Parables (Luke 5: 33-39; 16: 1-13;19: 11-27)
