Adult Christian Formation


Each Sunday the Luther Forum to Focus on the Book of Faith

Luther Forum--This adult Sunday School class will be studying the Book of Revelation during the spring semester, 9:45 in the Lutheran Campus Center. All adults (including college students) are invited to join this class.

 





 Weekday Faith Formation Classes

Thursday Evening Bible Study ( 8:00 p.m., in the Lutheran Campus Center)—This semester we will be using Faith Lens an electronic publication found on the ELCA web site.  It deals with current events and issues of faith. 

On Thursday, at 10:00 a.m., one of our weekday Faith Discussion Groups will meet.  The group will be engaged in a new course entitle "Lost Christianities: Christian Scriptures and the Battles Over Authenticity".  This group meets in the Conference Room of the Parish Life Center.

Our Friday Noon Faith Discussion Group is already meeting.  The group is continuing with a provocative DVD course entitled, “Eclipsing Empire:  Paul, Rome, and the Kingdom of God.”  Participants are encouraged to bring their lunches with them.  Here again, those who weren’t part of the group when we started the course can still jump into the conversation because each presentation is a unit unto itself.


First Ever LMLC Book Club –

An Opportunity for Learning and Exploration


It is exciting to report that LMLC’s First Ever Book Club is wrapping up its reading and discussions of The Gift of Years, by Joan Chittister. We had a wonderful response and we feel like we’ve come away with a sense of hope and joy in aging. Our Book Club has now decided to tackle The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. We would like to invite you to join us every 1st and 3rd Monday from 1:00-2:00 p.m. in the chapel to journey through this book with us. If you have already read it, don’t let that stop you from coming as our discussions are amazing and enlightening, and we would love your input. Guys—you are especially welcome. For some reason our Book Club response has been all ladies and we would welcome your perspective on things, too. We are leaving the acquisition of the book up to each reader as we have discovered that there are many avenues for acquiring this book at a cheaper cost than going through the church. Some have suggested the Thrift Shop, Amazon.com, the town library, The Easy Chair used books or borrowing from a friend. If you choose to go through the church for a book, then let Pastor Schroeder know as soon as possible. So, start reading The Kite Runner over the holidays and join us at Book Club on Monday, January 4, 1 p.m. in the Chapel.
