SUMMER STUDY OF THE BOOK OF PSALMS! |
|
 The human emotions expressed in the Book of Psalms rise to peaks of joy and descend into valleys of despair. In the Psalms, the promise of the reign of God meets the historical experience of God's people. Faith in God's faithfulness collides with human experiences of pain and suffering, enslavement, oppression, and exile. God's people--given voice in the Psalms--struggle to make sense of who God is and who they are, and in so doing they have composed a collection of moving testimonies of grace, glory, sorrow, and beauty unmatched in sacred literature. For students of the Psalms today, this study offers greater understanding of how these ancient texts of praise, lament, worship, and prayer can still speak to us and for us.
This group will meet on Sundays from 6:00 – 7:00 PM in room 213 beginning on June 6th for 10 weeks (skipping July 4th). Vicki Chandler will be the facilitator. The manuals are $11 each, and there is a sign-up sheet in the Narthex. Please contact Gary Feltner at 972-394-9798 for more information.

Disciple Class News and Information |
 Disciple I (or “Disciple red”) is a 34-week study of the Old and New Testaments covering all or part of most every book of the Bible. This is a dynamic approach to Bible study for people who are hungry for the Word of God, and is appropriate for newcomers to Bible study as well as longtime students. Ultimately, the goal of Disciple is to transform lives and to develop biblically nourished servant leaders who will serve Christ in the church and in the world. |
 Disciple II (or “Disciple green”) encourages people to open them-selves to hearing what God has to say to them through the Bible and to be guided into service in the world by scripture and their study of it. This 32-week study delves deeper into specific portions of scrip-ture, concentrating on four books: Genesis, Exodus, Luke, and Acts. Participants will read familiar passages, see them in fresh ways, and anticipate that God will speak through them. |
