 “Understanding the New Testament” 

Why do we have four Gospels? Why do they contradict each other at times? What was the purpose of Paul’s letters? What is the Book of Revelation really about? Beginning this fall, we’ll take a year-long look at the New Testament through this 24-part video lecture series produced by the Great Courses. These dynamic lectures, given by Professor David Brakke, Chair of Christian History at Ohio State University, start with the earliest writings of the NT – the letters of Paul, and then move on to the Gospels and Revelation. We’ll examine the original contexts of these writings and the people who wrote them, giving us a new perspective on these ancient texts. 

We’ll watch the video together as a group and then have a discussion facilitated by Pastor Maureen. The class will meet every 1st and 3rd Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. from September through May. We’ll meet on Zoom because we’ve found this to be a more inclusive way to be together! 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 Zoom Links, listed as “Wednesday Adult Ed”

The Racial Justice Group at CCA is dedicated to learning about the impact of racism on God’s world and our own hearts and minds, and taking action to bring about justice and the kin-dom of God in our community. Through reading, discussion, and service, CCA’s Racial Justice Group seeks to live more fully into God’s call to love our neighbor as ourselves.

The Racial Justice Group meets every second Sunday of the month after worship, in the Parlor on the 2nd floor. All who seek to learn more are welcome to join—you do not need to have participated in past meetings to join the conversation now!
