Adult EducationSunday Morning Learning HourClasses for adults take place each Sunday morning at 9:30 in the St. Paul lounge. Living in the World This classes discusses the book, Longing for Enough in a Culture of More by Paul Escamilla. Questions we will consider include: • How much is enough? • How do we discover a depth of being in a society always bent on “doing” and “having” more? • How do we find rest and peace for anxious hearts in our troubled economy? Join this class to explore the author's invitation to “escape the lifestyle and attitudes of a weighed-down world.” Sunday Morning Bible Study The Bible Study continues using Kingdom Living: The Parables of Jesus. Most of Jesus' teaching concerned the kingdom of God. Jesus meant to give us a picture of what life is like with God at the center. Take the Challenge! Join with us as we read through the Bible in a series of two-week readings on a particular topic. With this unique schedule, if you find yourself behind, you can rejoin us when we start the next two-week session. These readings will start September 14th. The St. Paul Scribe will also try posting regularly to a blog at http://stpaulchallenge.blogspot.com/. Wednesday Evening Supper and Book Study Let us cook dinner for you on Wednesday evenings, then stay for Good Intentions, our new book study, Teen Parent Connection, bell choir, or just come for dinner. Dinner is served at 6:00 - there is a nominal charge. Book Study: Good Intentions This class meets Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. after supper to study the book, Good Intentions. The authors set out to explore what's realistic and what's righteous. The book weds basic Christian principles with economic tools to figure out which actions and policies will yield moral outcomes. The results may surprise us.
