the Christian Education Ministry Team is offering a new Adult Bible Study in three formats: Sunday School, online, and Midweek Bible Study. The study will start in February and is called Epic of Eden: Understanding the Old Testament by Dr. Sandra Richter. It’s a 12-week Bible study that includes a video with discussion.

 Dr. Sandra Richter jumps headlong into the Old Testament to clearly and powerfully communicate a history of God’s redeeming grace, weaving together a story that runs from the Eden of the Garden to the garden of the New Jerusalem. This class will bring a new dimension to the history of the ancient Near East, orienting any study group in time, geography, culture, redemption, and relevance to today — all without diminishing her reader’s faith or “dumbing down” the scripture. Visit https://www.seedbed.com/epicofeden/ for more information.

 David Smith will teach the Sunday School class in the Fellowship Hall.

Pastor Mandy will teach the Midweek Bible Study on Mondays at 2:30 pm in Room 207.

David and Pastor Mandy will actively participate in the Online Facebook group.
