Pastor Martha conducts Bible Studies throughout the year with varying themes depending on the season.  Each study typically runs 4 – 6 weeks. We currently have an active group of Bible Study participants on Thursday mornings, but we’ve also held Bible Studies, as well as appropriate laity-led Book Studies, on Sunday mornings and evenings. We also offered a joint Lenten and Advent Studies, too. We are open to new ideas and interests to meet the needs of our extended church family.

The Land Between: Finding God in Difficult Transitions

Author Jeff Manion uses the biblical story of the Israelite’s journey through the Sinai desert as a metaphor for being in an undesired time of transition. After enduring generations of slavery in Egypt, the descendants of Jacob travel through the desert (the land between) toward their new home in Canaan. They crave the food of their former home in Egypt and despise their present environment. They are unable to go back and incapable of moving forward. Their reactions provide insight and guidance on how to respond to God during our own seasons of difficult transition. It also provides fresh biblical insight for people traveling through undesired transitions—foreclosure, unemployment, parents in declining health, post-graduate uncertainty, business failure—who are looking for hope, guidance, and encouragement. While it is possible to move through transitions and learn little, they provide our greatest opportunity for spiritual growth. God desires to meet us in our chaos and emotional upheaval, and he intends for us to encounter his goodness and provision during these upsetting seasons.
