Sunday Morning Book Study

Rehearsing Scripture, Discovering God's Word in Community by Anna Carter-Florence


Education Building, Thompson Parlor (Room 200)

Facilitators: Nancy and Tom Schneider and team


This Sunday School class meets in the early fall, late winter and again in the summer to study and discuss books together. 


The class format is mainly open discussion, mixed with experiential learning activities.


The book for January-March of 2025 is "Rehearsing Scripture, Discovering God's Word in Community" by Anna Carter Florence, an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and professor at Columbia Theological Seminary. 


Chapter One gets right to the point, "If you're hungry to encounter Scripture and meet a living Word, you're in good company." Using her background in theater and her love for Scripture, the author tells "dramatic" stories and provides group exercises for bringing a fresh awareness to familiar Biblical texts. 

Foundations of Scripture: Studying Sacred Texts in Community

Education Building Room 302/303

Facilitators: Steve Benz, Rev. Cindy Benz and Ed Pratt-Dannals


Join this ongoing Sunday School class that is focused on scripture and community building. 


The class explores together some of the most beloved and intriguing scripture passages in the Old and New Testament.


Class leaders facilitate discussions around passages by exploring the context in which they were written. The three most important things to remember when reading scripture are context, context and context. The class will explore the context in which the narrative took place, the context in which the words were incorporated into the canon, and how they speak to us in our own context. 

Underwood Class

Education Building, Bittinger Hall

Teacher: Clay Boone


This friendly and welcoming adult Bible study meets throughout the year and follows the International Sunday School lessons.
