Here’s a list of what’s happening this week in our Church School classes. We offer Christian Education classes for persons of all ages, from infancy through adulthood, on Sundays, 9:45–10:45 am, unless otherwise noted. Youth classes are currently meeting after our Sanctuary worship service. Read more about our adult classes and children and youth offerings.
Journey with Scripture
“Those who trust in God will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with God in love.”—Wisdom of Solomon 3:9
Our series, titled Word Hidden and Revealed – The Apocrypha and The Apocalypse, continues during these Lenten times. We seek a truth and love of God that is not “in spite of.” Not in spite of our alienation (sin), hurt, and deep fears. Rather we will look for a truth and love given at the very heart of our need, hurt, and ugliness. Isn’t this a message of the cross and Christ? Through reflection on the scripture readings, we will ponder how these things can be made flesh in our lives. Join us on this journey.
Join us for this week’s readings: Psalm 134; Wisdom of Solomon 7:1–30; Revelation 13:1–18. Contact Sara Hackett for Zoom information.
Parenting Circle
We will continue discussing excerpts from Lauren Burdette’s book, This Life that is Ours, and how her insights connect to our unique perspectives and experiences of parenthood. Each class will have time for personal sharing and reflection on brief readings from the book. All people involved in parenting are welcome to join us, even if you haven’t read the book.
If you would like a copy of the book, contact the Rev. Heather Schoenewolf.

Jesus and the Temple Controversy
Most historians agree that one of the most significant public events in the life of Jesus was his controversial action of “cleansing” the temple. But what was the intended meaning of this event? Was it an act of judgment? Protest? Restoration? Tucker Ferda will put the accounts of the Gospels in conversation with other non-canonical sources (especially Josephus and the Dead Sea Scrolls) in hopes to better understand what Jesus was doing and how this event figured into his execution by the Romans.
