Wednesday Adult Ed: A NEW Look at the OLD Testament

First and Third Wednesdays of every month until June 2

Wednesday
February 3

10:00am - 11:30am

View Details

Is the OLD Testament still relevant today? Who wrote it and why? From the Creation story to the Exodus, the stories of the great Kings and Judges, the writing of the prophets, the poetry of the Psalms, the wisdom of Proverbs, and the suffering of Job, the Old Testament is familiar yet mysterious to many of us. We’ll take a NEW look at the OLD Testament through this 2019 video lecture series produced by the Great Courses. These dynamic lectures, given by Robert D. Miller II, Professor of Old Testament at The Catholic University of America, give us a new look at this seminal text with a fresh perspective, rich visual aids and fascinating examination of the original context, shedding light on one of the world’s most beloved books.

We’ll watch the video together as a group and then have a discussion facilitated by Pastor Maureen. This series has 24 episodes, which we’ll watch from October to June, meeting every first and third Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. We’ll meet on Zoom in the fall and move to meeting in-person at the church if possible at a later date. All are welcome! Please RSVP to Pastor Maureen to receive the Zoom link, or access the link on our church website in the Members Section under “Wednesday Adult Ed”.

Small Group Mtg (1st Sunday of the month)

First Sunday of every month until June 6

Sunday
February 7

12:00pm - 1:30pm

View Details

Small Group Ministry is where 8-10 people meet in a committed group with the intention of establishing deeper connections with each other and with God. The groups meet once a month from October to June and are led by trained lay members of the congregation.  The group meetings run 1.5 hours and include a check-in, a short topic reading, discussion of the topic, and closing prayer.

This year we’re focusing on Short Stories by Jesus – Using the book by Amy-Jill Levine as a guide, we’ll explore the parables of Jesus and the many ways they have to guide, comfort, inspire, provoke, and change us! There’s no need to purchase the book and no prep-time is needed! The readings and discussion questions for each month will be emailed ahead of time and are short enough to be read when the group is gathered.

2020-2021 Topics:

Oct: The Good Samaritan
Nov: The Rich Man
Dec: The Persistent Widow
Jan: The Laborers in the Vineyard
Feb: The Talents
Mar: The Prodigal Son
Apr: The Sower
May: The Mustard Seed
Jun: The Lost Sheep

For questions, please contact Pastor Maureen.

Deadline to Register for NHUCC White Nationalism, Contemporary Racism and the Christian Church webinar (via Zoom)

Racial Justice Mission Group Presents
White Nationalism, Contemporary Racism and the Christian Church

Presented by: Rev. Dr. Velda Love
Racial Justice Minister, United Church of Christ
February 20, 2021 – 10 am – 1 pm
Via Zoom Webinar

On January 6, white nationalists stormed the Capitol leaving behind destruction, death, and a shocked country. What is white nationalism? What is the relationship between white nationalism and contemporary racism? What is the role of the Christian Church? How do we address racialized trauma?

Join the NHUCC webinar (via Zoom) on Saturday, February 20 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm for an enlightening discussion of these questions and more facilitated by Dr. Love. The event is free and sponsored by the Racial Justice Mission Group through your OCWM offerings. Register by February 14 in order to receive pre-webinar resources.

Before her call to the national setting of the United Church of Christ to serve as Racial Justice Minister, Dr. Love lived in Chicago. She wrote: “I was a member of Trinity United Church of Christ for more than 20 years. That experience developed my spirituality, theology, biblical understanding and racial justice from an African and African-American perspective. That experience also led to being deeply committed to social justice, gender equality, issues of race and eliminating racism.”

Dr. Love was an adjunct professor and conference speaker at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago from 2008 – 2017 and served North Park University as the director of intercultural justice and learning (2000 – 2016).

She earned her bachelor’s degree from Roosevelt University in 1990, and a master’s degree from North Park Theological Seminary in 2006. She attended Chicago Theological Seminary and obtained her D.Min. in 2016, and served various boards and task forces that address interfaith dialogue, homelessness, and youth incarceration.

“Given this critical juncture in our nation, conversations on race are still a priority,” Love said. “Racial justice and racial equality need to be part of our national dialogue. As Christians in the United Church of Christ, we are responsible for changing the narrative of how we engage the Gospel of Jesus Christ that is inclusive, liberating and radical.”
