A Note From Pastor Laura
Dear Friends,
Have you ever wondered where an event in Scripture occurred? Have you pondered the order of biblical events or considered how much time passed between those events? Have you ever struggled to just read through the Bible? We, at Starview United Church of Christ, have! So, we decided to embark on a "sermon-study series" that will take us through the Bible in chronological order - in the order of when the events actually occurred. This part of our study will begin on Sunday, February 13, 2022. The three weeks prior laid the foundation of how the Bible came to us, in our common language, in its current form.
On Monday evenings at 6 PM, we engage in a more detailed study of specific topics about the Bible - looking at things such as WHEN was a specific book written in relation to other books of the Bible, who authored each book, and even consider questions such as "What is Documentary Hypothesis and Biblical Criticism, and where do Christians of varying denominations fall on such matters?" If you are interested in participating in that study, please feel free to send an email to the church office (starviewucc@comcast.net) and we will be in contact with a Zoom link
Currently, on Sunday mornings, at 8:30 AM, in our Adult Christian Education Class, we gather in Fellowship Hall for a study called, "Christian: It's Not What You Think/" In this eight-week, video-based bible study, we will join pastor Andy Stanley as he examines the characteristics Jesus used to define those who follow Him and the implications, they have for believers today.
Through those eight engaging and enlightening sessions, Andy Stanley unpacks the qualities Jesus prescribes for his followers that made them unique. What if believers today embodied these same traits? Would the non-believing world put aside its definition of 'Christian' and instead know us by our love?
Sessions include: 1. Brand Recognition 2. Quitters 3. Insiders, Outsiders 4. Showing Up 5. When Gracie Met Truthy 6. Angry Birds
7. Loopholes 8. Working It Out.
Mrs. Vicki Donbaugh is our amazingly enthusiastic and passionate leader! Please, come and join us, in-person, (fully masked) as this is not offered via Facebook Live due to the confidential nature of our discussions.
On a different note, we recognize that these are challenging times in which we live. If you have need for spiritual support or have concerns about food or shelter insecurity, please reach out by calling the church office and together, we will investigate resources and options to help you through this tough spot.
God bless you and I'll see you soon.
