Feb 28, 2012 - 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
This year’s Lenten Series will again offer two class options beginning Tuesday evening, February 28 at 7 p.m. A simple supper will be available in Lawther Hall from 6–6:45 p.m.
CLASS OPTION ONE—
“It’s Time to Grow Up: Forming an Adult Faith in a Modern World”
LPC’s pastor, the Rev. Jim Butler will lead a four-part lecture and discussion series that will explore basic questions of Christian faith that people very often first encounter in childhood Sunday School classes and sometimes never re-engage. Topics will include: Who was Jesus and what did he reveal about God? What is the core of his message? What about the cross and resurrection? How is the Bible authoritative and where did it come from? What did Paul say about Jesus and the Gospel? Why is Christian community necessary? How can we meaningfully talk about salvation? What is the difference between faith and belief? The purpose is to help participants form a more solid foundation and understanding of Christianity that will help them to live as a faithful modern day follower of Jesus Christ. If you don’t feel terribly confident about what you think you are supposed to know and/or believe, this series could be very helpful. The series will be held in the Reed Room at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, February 28, (skips March 6 because the church will be in use as a polling place for primary voting day), and continues March 13, 20, and 27.
CLASS OPTION TWO—
“On the Road to the Cross”
The Rev. Sharon Budin will offer an interactive class for all ages which explores the varieties of styles and symbolism of crosses and opportunities to create your own personally meaningful crosses using a variety of artistic mediums.
