Adult Fellowship and Bible Studies

Adult Book/Bible/Video Study on Zoom

June 2 through July 15

Mondays 3:30 to 5 pm

Please join Laura Levin for a 6-week study of Parables: Putting Jesus’ Stories in Their Place. This will again be a Zoom study on Mondays from 3:30 - 5PM, dates TBD (based on book arrival), but aiming to start June 2 and continuing through July 14 (skipping June 30).

 

Read the stories of Jesus in a new light. When Jesus taught in parables, he was doing more than telling simple morality tales. His stories were grounded in the world in which he lived and his vision of the Kingdom of God. This book explores six parables that give us a window into Jesus’s message and movement, and, once they are heard in their own context,

ask what they might mean for us today. Parables include: the New Wine and Wineskins, the Mustard Seed, the Leaven, the Wedding Party, the Workers in the Vineyard, and the Wicked Tenants.

Martha Circle

Meeting in-person or on Zoom,3rd Tuesday afternoons at 1:30 pm

All meetings will be hybrid (in person in the Fireside Room and on Zoom) until further notice.

The Martha Circle study this year is: Let Justice Roll Down God’s Call to Care for Neighbors and All Creation


6/17/25 - Climate Change: Scripture teaches us to listen to prophets who warn of threats, avoid complacency and self-concern, and participate with joy in the work God has given us to do. 


9/16/25 - Economic Climate Justice: The Bible’s economic wisdom never promises to eradicate poverty: “You always have the poor with you,” it says instead. But we can reduce suffering and strengthen the entire social network.


10/21/25 - Intergenerational Justice: Like the authors who reflected midstream on the meaning of ancient Judah’s story with God, who held onto unrealized hopes for their future, we have a story with God, a story whose meaning is changing. 


11/18/25 - Sustaining Creation’s Health for All: Scripture and modern science help us see nature’s wisdom more clearly and lead us to seek just ways to care for the earth and one another.



Earline Barfield and Margaret Pasholk invite any women of the church to join in this Bible study and prayer time.  

Please Contact Us if you would like to join the meeting.
