Disciple
I—BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY,
7—9 PM |
| (This is a 34-week class) This
study requires reading large portions of Scripture
each week and is based on careful study and preparation.
During the course of thirty-four weeks, groups
will move through the biblical stories of Creation
to the New Jerusalem (17 weeks—Old Testament;
17 weeks—New Testament). The principal Scripture
for each session follows the chronological movement
of the biblical story. The facilitator for the
session will be Christopher Barnes Chris has been
a member of HPCUMC since 1971. He has taught the
Bethel Bible series and has led short-term bible
studies for the First Friday class. He serves
as a Certified Lay Speaker in the Ohio River
Valley District of the UMC and is also finishing
up a master's degree in theology at Xavier University.
There is a limit of 12 for this class. Cost: $30.

Disciple
III—REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, 6::30—8:30
PM
(For
32 weeks starting September 17, 2007) This has
been prepared for those who have completed Disciple
I. Resident in the title is the driving idea
in this study--the connection between memory
and identity as the people of God. The word
You in the title is meant to be heard both in
its singular form (the individual) and in its
plural form (the community). We are a community
of memory. Participants in this thirty-two-week
study will read the major and minor Old Testament
prophets, with the exception of Daniel, and
will read the thirteen letters traditionally
attributed to Paul. To establish the historical
context in which the prophets spoke for God,
daily reading assignments also draw on the books
of Deuteronomy through Chronicles. Study of
the prophets will follow their historical sequence
rather than their biblical sequence. The facilitator
for this session will be Sandy Vogele. Sandy
is a Certified Lay Speaker in the Ohio River
Valley District of UMC and is currently working
towards Certified Lay Minister designation.
Sandy has been a member of HPCUMC for 6 years
and is a member of the staff. Daily readings
and exercises are required for participation
in the weekly sessions. Cost $30. Registration
by Monday, September 9th. Limit of
12 participants.

INTRODUCTION
TO ROMANS—9-10 AM
|
|
| (For nine
weeks starting September 19) It is difficult to
overstate the importance of Romans in Christian
tradition. Some of the great formers and re-formers
of church teaching were themselves formed by their
reading of Romans. As a result, Paul’s teachings
in Romans come to us mediated through the history
of the church’s interpretations of his letter.
One of the aims of this study is to invite us
into conversation around several key themes: (1)
Paul’s emphasis on communal salvation; (2)
the centrality of God’s righteousness; and
(3) the relationship between Jews and Gentiles
and the relationship of both to God. The facilitator
for Invitation to Romans is Rev. Bob Pearce. Bob
is a retired United Methodist minister. He last
served St. Mark’s UMC in Tucson, AZ. He
has been a very active member of HPCUMC since
him and his wife, Mary, joined in March this year.
Cost: $9. Registration by Monday, September
9th. |
