Sundays, October 5th and 12th - The Context of the Old Testament

The Jews of the Old Testament lived in a relatively small part of a relatively large and connected world.  They were bit players on a world stage that included the empires of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Turkey, and eventually Greece and Rome.  In the first week, we’ll look at political, economic, and cultural influences.  In the second week, we’ll look at why Jewish religious thought – monotheism – fell like a bombshell on the ancient middle east. This class will be taught by John Harvey.

Sundays, October 19th - November 23rd - An Epidemic of Mental Illness: Causes and Recommendations

The Sunday morning Christian Formation Class will be exploring the epidemic of mental illness in our young people. This class is based upon the book “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness” by Dr. Jonathan Haidt. We’ll explore causes and recommendations, seeking to help manifest John 10:10: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” We start Sunday, October 19 th at 9:00 am. Led by Paula Beaty.
