“A Study of the Incarnation”

Discover the greatest mystery on earth—the incarnation of Jesus Christ as God and man. It is a mystery too keep for the human mind to understand fully, yet it has enormous practical value for the Christian life. A Study of the Incarnation will help open up the wonder of the incarnation to you, that you may draw strength for your faith and daily life.

Led by Kathy Schlecht in Room 112.

“White Fragility – the Racial Philosophy that is Dividing America – A Christian Perspective” 
We all know that our culture is broken, and we are all born with different privileges and positions in life.  As such we all have very different life experiences.  Books like “White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism” do well in challenging us to consider some of these issues and remember the plight of those less fortunate.  As followers of Jesus we certainly need to be aware and sensitive to these issues. But what if trying to identify, support, and listen to those on the forefront of the antiracism fight requires the acceptance of ideas that are diametrically opposed to the Gospel and plain teaching of Scripture?  What if words we have used for generations now mysteriously seem to have completely new meanings?  What can be done if identifying as a Christian, or having the wrong skin color, gender, or age automatically places someone in the unchangeable role of an oppressor? How, did this happen? As Christians how can we be salt and light to our hurting and divided world in such troubling times?  The stakes couldn’t be much higher. If you are interested in wrestling with some of these issues, please join us.

Led by Joe Sarr and Greg Northrup in Room 208.

Beth Moore study on the Vine and Branches 

In the book of John, Jesus said, “I am the Vine and you are the Branches.”  We will unpack this with Beth Moore using video, Bible readings and discussion.  This is a no homework necessary format and is suitable for all women!  If you like a workbook, the “Chasing Vines” group experience guide will be the resource to get.

Led by Gail Hein in Room 205.

Tension Points between Our Christian Faith
and Our Culture

Nine issues critically divide us and the secular world around us. We who are joined with our Lord in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism are called to live confidently and with courage as lights, as salt of the earth,
and to be the 'city on a hill' where people
can find hope in difficult times.

Led by Pastor Al and Jerry Austin and they meet in
Room 54 (Church Library).
