Adult Sunday CONNECTIONS

Winter Electives, January 19-February 23, 11:00-11:50 AM

Sunday Connections gather to meet with God and each other. All ADULTS are welcome to join anytime for conversation, prayer, and Bible discussion. This is a great opportunity to grow in Christ, live in community, and join together in mission.

Relentless Love: A Study of the Book of Jonah

The book of Jonah is one of the best-loved stories in the Bible—one of the first Bible stories we read to our children. The extraordinary image of Jonah and the big fish has captured the imaginations of artists and writers throughout the ages. This is a study about a God of relentless love who goes to extraordinary lengths to turn the Ninevites away from wickedness and reconciliation with God, themselves, each other, and the rest of creation. It is about Jesus, who calls Jonah a sign that points to his death and resurrection. It is about us, the readers of the 21st century, who are still faced with questions of death and life, of God and humanity, of repentance and reconciliation. Join us as we process and discern how God wants each of us to respond to his Word in the book of Jonah.

United in Peace, For the World

In Ephesians 4:1-6 the Apostle Paul urges the church to live a life worthy of the calling we have received. He implores the church to be humble, gentle, and bear with one another in love. He challenges the body of Christ to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Through this unity, we will flourish in our calling as the church to go deeper in Christ and further in mission. Each week we will focus on one of our denominational mission priorities, asking the Holy Spirit to continue the work of transformation in our lives and position the church to make a transformative impact on the world.

Reflections

The Sunday morning worship service will be the springboard for reflection where we share what we found encouraging or challenging. We will ask two big questions: What is God saying, and what are we going to do about it?                                       

Led by the Reflections Team in the Fireside Room
