Wednesday Evening Adult Study:
Adult studies are normally held between September and May, each Wednesday at 6 PM in the parlor on the second floor. Subject matter ranges from Bible study to contemporary topics to studies related to the seasons of Lent and Advent.
You're invited to join us for our new Lenten Bible study using "Hard & Holy Work: A Lenten Journey through the Book of Exodus" by Mary Alice Birdwhistell and Tyler D. Mayfield. Pastor Mary Alice Birdwhistell and Hebrew Bible scholar Tyler Mayfield reflect on the brave action of the midwives Shiphrah and Puah and other faithful women in Exodus, Moses’ awakening to the plight of the Hebrew people, Moses’ life-changing encounter with the burning bush, the Israelites taking the risk of crossing the Red Sea, and more―alongside numerous contemporary stories―to help readers to see anew and contemplate how God is calling them to respond to what is not right in the world: racial injustice, especially borne by women of color, houselessness, and discrimination against LGBTQ+ communities and people with disabilities.
This 7-week study begins on Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at 5:30 - 6:30 PM in the library or via Zoom. Please call the church office at (207) 872-7564 or e-mail at [email protected] to let us know you will be attending and to reserve a copy of the book.
