Between 10:15 and 11:05 each Sunday morning in the months between October and June the children and the adults of Zion meet for Sunday School. There are two classes for children. The pre-kindergarten and primary aged children meet for stories, song, and play while the intermediate class has lessons and activities. Both groups are involved in special holiday celebrations and intergenerational events. Remember that Luther called Christian Education and worship the twin pillars of the church!

A HANDBOOK FOR CHRISTIAN LIFE IN THE 21ST CENTURY What
are the characteristics of a Christian in the twenty-first century? Our resident theologian, The Rev. Dr. Eric W. Gritsch, has just written a new book that may provide some guidance for us. This book will be in print in the early fall. The ideas in this book have already been presented in Houston, Texas, New York City, and Copenhagen, Denmark; now the people of Zion will have an opportunity to meet with thoughtful, seeking Christians and the author to discuss pertinent issues in the light of the Lutheran tradition. Please participate in the
continuing education offered in the Adult Sunday School Class.
These
sessions will be facilitated by the Rev. Dr. Eric W. Gritsch. Light
refreshments will be served. The course will conclude at the
Christmas Break. |

ADULT CHRISTIAN
EDUCATION
JOB AND THE LIFE OF FAITH
The
Book of Job cuts straight to the heart of what it means to be human.
It is the most profound exploration on of the life of faith ever written, and
wrestles with some of life's most perplexing questions:
- Why do bad things happen to good people?
- Why do good things happen to bad people?
- Is there a correspondence between sin and suffering, obedience and blessing?
- Can God be trusted?
- Why should we serve God if there are no guarantees?
When Job asks, "Why?" -- we, too strain to hear the answers, and if answers are not forthcoming, then we, like Job, at least need to know how to live without them.
Let's consider these questions
together between 10:15 and 11:05
each Sunday morning in the Sunday School Room beginning Oct. 7, 2007.
Bonnie Brobst will be the facilitator and refreshments will be served.
