During the Lenten season, Pastor Alex will be leading a Bible study entitled Seven Words: Listening to Christ from the Cross, written by United Methodist minister Susan Robb. This study will invite us to consider Jesus' last words while on the cross. Taken together, these words offer us a portrait of Jesus' humanity, a display of forgiveness, and a glimpse of God's inclusive Kingdom.
This study will include lots of different learning opportunities, with group discussion at the forefront. All are welcome, and every session will be on Wednesdays at 11:00AM and 7:00PM for exactly one hour. Come at whatever time works for you!
The sessions will be as follows (both in-person and in the Good News Center meeting room):
Wednesday, March 1st
Wednesday, March 8th
Wednesday, March 15th
Wednesday, March 22nd
Wednesday, March 29th
Wednesday, April 5th
While prior reading is not required for this study, reading along in the accompanying book will be helpful. The sessions will follow along chapter by chapter. To purchase a book, come by during office hours (9:00AM-3:00PM Tuesday through Friday). If in need of a scholarship, please contact Pastor Alex at olivetumcpastor@gmail.com.
Let's prepare our hearts and minds for Holy Week!
