Knowing the Play Book

As a game, much of football hinges on the abilities of a team to memorize and execute their respective plays.  Knowing the playbook is key.

In the Christian faith we have a book, too:  The Bible.  But, while we may not have the book memorized, it is vital that we understand the basics of the faith and be able to carry forward the gospel of Christ in word and deed.  

At Calvary, we always begin the new year with many opportunities to broaden and deepen our understanding of the Bible, and the Christian faith in general.  Toward that end, we have several courses that can be of help to everyone--younger or older alike--and now is the time to "sign up" and become a part of the team.

Women's Bible Study
    Meets on Monday evenings at 6:30 p.m. in Todd's office. Women of all ages welcome.

Methodist 101
     Begins in February on Sunday mornings at 10:10.  Led by all of the clergy at Calvary, this course will provide history, background, and contemporary understanding of our United Methodist faith and beliefs.

Confirmation 
     Began last week for 6th grade students--and is an experience that leads young people into a deeper relationship with Christ, and provides background and Biblical understanding for the Christian faith.  Pray for these 19 students and their mentors!

Master's Class
     Thursday evenings January 31 & February 7 . . . sign up on the Calvary web site to become a part of this exploration of Biblical Covenant with Rabbi Winnig, and learn more about the Jewish roots of Christianity.

I hope to see you in the Learning Place very soon!
