Weekly Word Bible Study
Gather with other adults to discuss scripture in a smaller group setting. This Bible study follows the same stories as our children’s Sunday school, helping us to learn the bible across generations. Join us each Sunday to discuss the lesson and the scripture. No registration; stop by when you can.
September 21: God Begins a New World with Noah
When the world turns violent and broken, God chooses not to abandon it—but to begin again. This Sunday, we’ll explore the story of Noah, the flood, and the promise that follows. What does it mean to trust God through upheaval? And how do we live as people of the covenant in a world still in need of renewal? (Genesis 6:9 and following)
September 28: Abraham Entertains Angels
One hot afternoon, three strangers appear outside Abraham’s tent—and everything changes. This Sunday, we’ll explore this story of surprising hospitality, holy encounters, and the quiet ways God shows up in ordinary moments. What might it mean to welcome the unexpected in our own lives? (Genesis 18:1–6)
October 5: St. Francis of Assisi
St. Francis of Assisi gave up wealth and comfort to follow Jesus with simplicity, joy, and love for all creation. This Sunday, we’ll explore the heart of his vision through Jesus’ own words in the Sermon on the Mount—an invitation to trust, to let go, and to see the world with reverent wonder. (Matthew 6:24–33)
October 12: Jacob and Esau Make Peace, Not War
Twin brothers. Lifelong rivalry. A stolen blessing. And yet—grace. This Sunday, we’ll trace the winding path of Jacob and Esau’s relationship, from betrayal to a surprising reunion. What can their story teach us about forgiveness, courage, and the hard work of making peace? (Genesis 25:19–34; 27:1–46; 32–33)
October 19: God Frees God’s People
From slavery to freedom, fear to song—the Exodus story is at the heart of Israel’s faith and ours. This Sunday, we’ll follow the arc from oppression to deliverance and reflect on how God still sets people free. What does liberation look like today? And how do we live in response to it? (Exodus 1–2; 12:1–42; 13:17–15:21)
November 2: All Saint’s Day
Faith is never a solo journey. This Sunday, we’ll mark All Saints’ Day by remembering the faithful who have gone before us—those whose lives point us toward hope, courage, and Christ. Come reflect on what it means to be part of this great cloud of witnesses. (Hebrews 12:1–2)
November 9: God Gives us Gifts of Live and Love
As the people of Israel prepare to enter the Promised Land, Moses reminds them of what matters most: to love God, walk in God’s ways, and choose life. This Sunday, we’ll listen in on these ancient words of instruction and invitation. What does it look like to receive God’s gifts with gratitude—and to live in response? (Deuteronomy 6:4–9; 8:1–20; 10:12–22; 30:11–16, 19–20)
November 23: Hannah and Samuel
Out of deep longing and honest prayer, a mother offers her child to God—and a prophet is born. This Sunday, we’ll reflect on Hannah’s faith and Samuel’s call, exploring how God listens, responds, and still speaks. What might it mean to offer ourselves to God in trust? (1 Samuel 3:1-20)
November 30: God’s Kingdom of Peace
Swords into plowshares. Wolves lying down with lambs. Through the prophet Isaiah, God offers a bold and beautiful vision of peace. This Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to long for such a world—and how we might live toward it even now. (Isaiah 2:4; 11:1–10)
December 21: What Does It Mean for God to Be Born?
Christianity makes a unique claim: the God of Creation was born into the world, and not in a palace, but in an out of the way barn. Come and learn the real meaning of Christmas and how it’s even bigger than you ever imagined! (Luke 2:8-20 & Matthew 1:18-2:23)
