Seven Days to Glory:  Holy Week”
Our next 8:45 am Sunday morning class, beginning February 19 and chosen especially for the season of Lent, will be a study of “Holy Week,” the days immediately preceding Jesus’ death and resurrection.  The study was written by Blair Monie, a Presbyterian pastor from Dallas, TX who has also served on the General Assembly Council and is a trustee at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.  In this class, we will walk through Jesus’ experiences and also reflect on what they mean to us as Christians today.  The Lenten study focuses on six chapters from Mark’s gospel, and we will also have the opportunity to compare those passages with parallel scriptures in the other three gospels and, in one case, in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians.

Here is the class schedule:

Week	Topic	Scripture(s)
February 19	Monday:  Robbers in the Narthex	Mark 11:15-19
February 26	Tuesday:  By What Authority?	Mark 11:27-33, 12:13-17
March 4	Thursday:  A Day Called Holy	Mark 14:12-72
March 11	God’s Friday	Mark 15:16-41
March 18	The Silence of Saturday	Mark 15:42-47
March 25	Sunday:  The Day of Resurrection	Mark 16:1-8

 

SATURDAY LENTEN BIBLE STUDY: You are invited to eat breakfast at the Beavercreek Panera Bread with The Rev.Tom Harmon, as he leads a Lenten Bible study on Saturday mornings from 9:00 to 10:00 am.  Starting on Sat, Feb 25 and continuing on the five Saturdays in March, we will spend six weeks encountering scripture together.  This is an excellent opportunity for spiritual growth during the season of Lent.  Please let Tom know if you’re interested in participating.  Why not invite a friend?
