The Dangerous Journey...Study of John Bunyan's Book, The Pilgram's Progress
Facilitators: Kurt Mueller, Jim Shulz
Location: Room 8
The Pilgrim’s Progress is the story of a man who is seeking to find his way to heaven. Written by John Bunyan, probably in the early months of 1676, it represents the Christian life as a journey, a quest for salvation. Pilgrim’s Progress is the 2nd most widely read book in the world, after the Bible, it has stood the test of time and is still relevant even though written nearly 338 years ago.
As we set off on our journey to read and discuss The Pilgrim’s Progress, we will soon discover that Bunyan’s book is a portal through which we have entered into a world full of adventure. With every turn of the page, you will encounter intriguing and colorful characters, imaginative places, and engaging drama punctuated with some of the most enlightening and life-transforming dialogue ever penned.
Please plan to join us for our kickoff/introduction class on Sunday, August 11. John Musselman, who re-wrote and published our modern English version of the book, will be there to help us start our Dangerous Journey
Women’s Sunday Morning Bible Study - Galatians by NT Wright
Facilitators: Eileen Mittleider, Kristi Story, JoAnn Gotschall, Cathy Shuman, Rachel Buhler
Location: Room #12
Paul's project, he often says, is building--not building with bricks and mortar but rather with people. He lays the foundation with the shockingly good news of one true God who raised Jesus from the dead, in order to build a new family with no divisions, all of whom can call God Father. In a world of widespread ethnic rivalry and cutting divisiveness, Paul's strong corrective message in Galatians demands to be heard and reheard.
