Connect & Deepen
What is Theology?
Discover the form of our faith
What do we mean by God, Jesus, revelation, the Church, salvation, worship, ethics, mission, sin and redemption? In some ways, all of us are trying to take what we read and hear from the Bible and in worship and figure out how they connect with our experience and outlook. This is the task of theology, and this class will be an exercise in “connecting” and “deepening” ourselves as more reflective theologians so our work and worship in life will be more meaningful, more “connected” and “deepened.” Led by Dr. Carl Badger

Sola Scriptura Class
Led by the Rev. Tom Robinson, Sola Scriptura is a somewhat traditional Bible study, engaging both the mind and the spirit. As the class name implies, the emphasis is upon the scripture itself, rather than prepared materials. Each session is completely self-contained. Tom indicates, "I learned years ago that if you penalize someone for being absent last week, he or she will likely be absent next week." Class sessions, therefore, generally begin with a short contextual review, the presentation of the text itself, then followed by study and discussion. During the past several years the class has studied, among other scriptures, the Gospel of Mark, the Acts of the Apostles, Paul's Letter to the Romans, and the Gospel of John. During the summer of 2009, the class examined and discussed selections from Paul's Letter to the Ephesians. All are welcome to join us; no long-term commitment is required.

Trinity Class
TrueFaced
If we feel we have to act like we've pretty much got it together, we develop a face we present to the world who is not truly us. Before long, we have lost who we are and begin to believe we are the person we have been pretending to be. We even get to the point where we think God sees us this way too. Without realizing it, our whole being becomes wrapped up in maintaining this image and “doing” all the right things…while thinking no one would like us if they knew the real person behind the mask.
Join the Trinity Sunday School Class over the next 7 – 8 weeks as we seek a better understanding of the difference between living and offering a life of grace, versus a life of good intentions and performance. We meet before the 11:00AM worship service each Sunday morning in the upper level of the education wing.
