Adult Ministries
Sunday BIBLE STUDY
Each Sunday, Pastor Gregory Davis leads a study and discussion on the Gospel lesson assigned for the coming Sunday, giving congregants an opportunity to reflect on the Gospel text and let it percolate as they prepare to hear next week's sermon.
Wednesday Adult Faith Formation
September 16 - November 18
The apostle Paul is the author of Romans, a letter to believers in Christ living in the capital city of the Roman Empire. Paul, a missionary for twenty years, is at the height of his career. He has written other letters to congregations he founded or to people he brought to faith in Jesus. Romans is an exception to this pattern because Paul did not establish the church that met in that city. He longs to meet these believers, but this has not happened yet.
Pastor Carlson facilitates this study on Wednesdays this Fall from 6:00 - 7:00 pm in St. Michael’s Hall.
