Seeing is Believing: Exploring the Art of Makoto Fujimura
Lead by Michaela Eskew
November 27 to December 18
9:30-10:30 a.m. in the Peel House Parlor (except December 4 will be in the Fireside Room)
This Advent we will be exploring the modern artwork of Makoto Fujimura, an American artist trained in the ancient ways of Japanese art. Each week we will explore Advent scriptures alongside Fujimura's art and writings on faith. It is sure to be a multi-sensory experience that hopes to capture the glory and gift of the Incarnation. We will be doing a viewing of the 2016 Martin Scorsese film "Silence" (Rated R) on Saturday, December 10th from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

Spiritual Direction: Companionship Along the Way
Led by Lori Duncan
January 15
9:30 – 10:30 a.m. in the Peel House Parlor
Perhaps you’ve heard the term “spiritual direction” but are unsure about what it is or how it might contribute to your own life with God. Join us on January 15th to learn what it is and isn’t, its history and purpose, and some practical takeaways that can serve to deepen your intimacy with Jesus.
Unnamed Women in the Gospels
Led by Macy Kennedy, Deacon Intern
January 22 – February 12
9:30 – 10:30 a.m. in the Peel House Parlor
Over four weeks we will explore the stories of unnamed women in the Gospels using Frances Taylor Gench's book Back to the Well. Gench encourages us to view these stories through a lens of biblical scholarship. She examines each story's language, structure, and literary and socio-cultural context, and recounts many traditional and contemporary interpretations. In the process, she opens up new possibilities for reading these texts. I invite you to dive deeper into women's encounters with Jesus in each Gospel.
January 22: Matthew 15:21-28
January 29: Mark 5: 21-43
February 5: Luke 13: 10-17
