The Prophet Jeremiah
…they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water.
(Jeremiah 2:13b)
Jeremiah was given an important but very difficult assignment to accomplish – to speak truthfully about the failures of the people of Judah and to remind them of the One in whom they ought to put their trust, the Lord God of all creation. The book is filled with warnings, wisdom, and encouragement for living faithfully today.
Please join us as we gather at 11:30 a.m. on Sundays, top floor Parish Hall for Bible study and fellowship. An elevator is available for easy access. (Note, there will be no class on October 4th to make time for an informational meeting regarding the education building.)

Matthew: The Gospel of Promised Blessings
By: Matthew L. Skinner
The Gospel of Matthew portrays Jesus and his message as full of tender compassion and urgent warning. This six-part exploration of an enigmatic Gospel takes readers into the themes, topics, and tensions at the heart of Matthew’s story about the life and work of Jesus.
Chapters focus on blessing and comfort, judgment and retribution, the meaning of discipleship, Jesus’ vision for the Church and world, conflicts and complaints, and how the Gospel of Matthew speaks to believers today.
Education Building Q & A Sessions
September 20th & October 4th
On October 4th, our final question and answer session will be held after church to discuss the future of the Education Building. Patty Long has graciously given the Sunday School time slot for this meeting.
There are 4 proposals as to the future of this building and important decisions need to be made. As some proposals involve heating and cooling issues, decisions must be made very soon.
The meetings will explain these proposals, discuss the costs of each, and give you an opportunity to ask questions and express your views. A written survey will also be distributed so that you can express your wishes.
Please mark one of these dates on your calendar.
