New Online Bible Study!
True, Good, and Beautiful: An Online Study for Lent
Beginning February 17 and continuing each Wednesday evening through Lent (March 31), Pastor Miller will be conducting an online Bible study. The goal is to reconsider what we think of as true, good, and beautiful, using a large portion of the Gospel According to John as a starting point.
Lent has always been a season of repentance. We have often been encouraged to “give something up for Lent.” The thought is to remove something from our lives and devote the time or energy to prayer and fasting. While this has significant value for many people, the true meaning of “repentance” is a changing of one’s mind; that is, it is an encouragement to think differently about something from what we previously believed or acted upon. This study will ask us how we might think about the concepts above--what is really true, what is truly good, and what does it mean to say something is beautiful?
Some people you know may say they do not have a computer or access to the internet, whether it be a next door neighbor, a family member, or a trusted friend close by. Why not ask them to join you these six studies? The weekly sessions will begin at 7:00 p.m. and run for one hour. Pastor Miller will remain online after that time for anyone who might like to pursue any questions that were not answered during the hour.
If you are interested in participating, please give your email address (or the address of someone who will be accessing this study for you) to Pastor Miller. Don't be intimidated! If you can think of a response to just one of those, we'd love to hear from you when we meet. If it's all a bit much, don't be discouraged and think this isn't for you. Stick with it and learn from one another. It's a wonderful growth opportunity! It doesn't matter where you are when you start; all I hope for is one step forward, no matter how small. And you just might be surprised at how big a step you will be able to take.
Give it a try!
