Covenant Bible Study:

,

Are you interested in an in-depth Bible Study?  This fall Pastor Catherine Neelly Burton invites you to join her for “Covenant Bible Study: Creating the Covenant.” This is a nine-week course. In it we get a sampling of the Old and New Testaments through the lens of Biblical covenant.

Participants who engage in this study will gain knowledge and confidence about the Bible. This Bible study requires a high commitment and won’t be for everyone.  The commitment is a weekly class of one hour and fifteen minutes and a couple of hours of homework a week; you will read a lot of scripture.  It is fine to miss a class on occasion, but you need to make at least five of the eight classes in order to participate.

Materials for the class are a study Bible and study guide. The guides may be purchased at Grace for $14, and you may also buy a study Bible from Grace for $25, or you may use one you already have. The videos we use in class reference the Common English Translation (CEB) of the Bible, but you may use the translation of your choice.

The classes meet on Tuesdays at 10 am or Wednesdays at 6 pm. Classes begin on September 12 and 13.  Sign-ups begin mid-August.  Look for more information on a bulletin board at church, in Grace this Week, or by calling Catherine, 684-5215.  Childcare is available for class upon request.

Ice Cream Social: August 13

,

Join us for an ice cream social on August 13 from 4-5 pm in the Grace Great Room. Do you have an ice cream maker at home?  Churn up a batch, and bring it to share.  Don’t have a mixer?  Bring your favorite store bought flavor, or just come and enjoy what others bring.

The deacons are sponsoring this event and encourage you to join us for fellowship and ice cream. We’re socializing inside because of the heat, and we’ll gather around tables in the Great Room. You are welcome to bring a lawn chair if you want to create the feeling of sitting on the lawn.
