Adult Sunday School at 9am on Sundays
Craig Mueller will be teaching our Adult Sunday School again, and he will be starting the school year with Adam Hamilton’s “Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith.” Many of us wonder…is there a God? Many of us
wrestle with the Bible. We wonder if non-Christians are going to Hell, if Heaven is real, why prayers go unanswered and why innocent people suffer. Pastor Adam Hamilton discusses some of our most significant
sources of doubt and shows us how a steady trust in God can emerge from our doubts.
Matchless Bible Study
September 10th-November 4th
Tuesday Evenings @ 7:30 PM
We talk about Jesus all the time, but do we really know…Who is He? Why did He come to earth? How can I know Him? We live in a world where there’s a lot of confusion about Jesus. How can we know the truth? Learn
Scripture in a way that’s easy to understand, regardless of how long you’ve been studying the Bible. This study will deepen your understanding of Jesus through biblical, historical, and cultural insight and help you see Him less as an iconic figure and more as an intimate friend. Join us as we learn the story of our matchless Savior—
His mission, miracles and message. This is a repeat of the study we did last fall in our Thursday AM class, for those who prefer our evening class. We will meet on Tuesday evenings at 7:30 PM, for 8 weeks, beginning on
September 10th. The participation booklet cost is $16. Signup sheets are located on the sign-in table in Fellowship Hall. Please see Wendy or email her at sundayschool@noumc.org if you have questions or would like to sign up. Feel free to invite a friend!
Isaiah Adult Bible Study
September 12th – October 24th
Thursdays @ 11 AM
Isaiah was a prophet, God’s mouthpiece to the nation of Judah. He challenges us, just as he challenged them, to rest in God’s promises. In this study, we will learn to trust God for who He is and how He reveals Himself in Scripture. We will grow in our understanding of the Book of Isaiah and its prophecies. We will grasp how Jesus fulfills the promises in the Book of Isaiah. And we will discover peace in God’s commands, character, and comfort. We will meet on Thursday mornings at 11 AM beginning on September 12th for 7 weeks. The participation booklet cost is $22 and comes with video access. Signup sheets are located on the sign-in table in Fellowship Hall. Please see Wendy, sundayschool@noumc.org, if you need more information or would like to sign up. Bring a friend!
