An 8-week “Invitation to the Old Testament!” For many Christians, the books of the Old Testament are among the more confusing and confounding books in the Bible, yet they lay the foundation for our understanding of who God is and how God engages with the world.

During this 8-week exploration of the Old Testament, we will explore the Old Testament's story of God, including the beauty of the Creation narrative; the calling of the people of Israel; the giving of the law; and the warnings of the prophets. At the end of the eight weeks, participants will have a better understanding the various books of the Old Testament, the themes that unite these books, and the foundations they lay for the life and ministry of Jesus.

We will meet on eight Wednesday evenings this fall, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., at the church (Sept. 20 & 27; Oct. 4, 11, & 25; Nov. 1, 8, & 15).

Each class meeting will include two brief video segments, which will provide insight from biblical scholars, a visual tour of archaeological sites, and a survey of physical remains related to and illuminating scripture and events.

This class requires approximately thirty minutes of reading from the Old Testament each evening between class sessions, and the class will be led by Rev. Tim and Ellen Davies.

An optional potluck dinner will be held each Wednesday evening before the class meeting beginning at 6pm. If you have questions, please speak to Rev. Tim or to Ellen.
