As we continue six months of reflection on peacemaking, we will share in Dan Buttry’s Bible study, “A Bible Study Manual on Conflict Transformation”. We will gather on Monday night at 7pm beginning on September 16th. Bring your Bible and a notebook as we work our way through sections of both the Old and New Testaments.

The Tuesday morning Bible Study, led by Joan Trusty, on the first five books of the Old Testament has resumed with a new start time of 10 am. This promises to be interesting! All are welcome. We meet in the parlor and class lasts an hour.

What makes a Baptist a Baptist? The ultimate answer, of course, is simple: Membership, or regular attendance at a local Baptist Church. But there are all kinds of Baptist groups and Baptist churches! So, what are the “generic distinctions,” the “peculiar convictions,” the “specific ideals” that Baptists rally around and that make a Baptist a Baptist? What is the shape and feel of the 21st century Baptist movement? On October 8th, our Discipleship Class dinner and gathering will focus on Baptists in America beginning in the 18th century through the mid 19th century. In November, we will explore the Baptist movement from mid 19th century to the present and the challenges brought about by change and conflict. The goal of these sessions will be to allow those who attend to discover more about their Baptist tradition and how to better understand and practice their faith.

This weekly group offers support, friendship and ministry opportunities with a primary focus on serving women and girls locally and globally. During this current time of COVID-19 they meet via Zoom Meetings at 10AM every Thursday.
