Adult Education: ...Sunday Mornings... Adult Seminar Upstairs - Library Guest speakers and/or members of our congregation lead this lecture and discussion class for adults of all ages. Inquirers' Classes - Parlor Would you or someone you know like to know more about the Presbyterian Church? Are you interested in becoming a member of Potomac Presbyterian? If so, this four-week series is for you. Led by the Rev. Kerry Stoltzfus, Pastor. Bible Study - Parlor The Bible Study class begins the year with a study called “Christian Beliefs.” Christian Beliefs are vital to Christian living and form the foundation of our relationship with God and with others. In this twelve-week study we will explore key principles of the Christian faith. (Re)acquaint yourself with the basics of our life together: God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, human nature, sin, salvation, holiness, the Church, mission, revelation, and the last things. ...At other times... Christian Living - Second Tuesday at 9:30 AM This year we will be combining study with action as we look at Jubilee! Luke's Gospel for the Poor, by Dale Lindsay Morgan. Each month we will serve at a mission site, have lunch, and discuss the experience in light of Jesus' message of jubilee ". . . he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. . . . to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free . . . " (Luke 4:18). Learn about and help be a part of the many ways that Christ's jubilee message turned the world upside down, exalting the poor and including outsiders, bringing the love of God to all. Wednesday Morning Bible Study - Wednesdays at 9:30 AM The study for this fall, led by Pastor Kerry Stoltzfus, will be using the book, Paul for Everyone: Romans - Part One by Tom Wright. Paul’s letter to the Christians in Rome is his masterpiece. Romans is all about the God who, as Paul says unveils his power and grace through the good news about Jesus. And as Paul insists again and again, this power and grace is available for everyone who believes. The first class is on Wednesday, September 3, at 9:30 a.m. Kerygma Bible Study - Wednesdays at 7:30 PM Kerygma is a Greek word which means “proclamation, announcement, preaching” Learners from beginning to advanced are invited to join us for stimulating discussions as we study the bible and apply it to personal and corporate life in today’s world.
