Summer Worship Schedule Begins May 26.

May 26 through September 15th, there will be one Sunday Worship Service at 9:30 am, with Adult Bible Class following at 10:45 am.

SURPRISED by HOPE
Adult Bible Class (ABC) study through May
(Lessons 4, 5 and 6)
Sundays @ 9:30 a.m. in the Lounge

Christian HOPE as the anchor for both eternal life and life right now on earth is the underlying theme of this study. Two questions come up: “What are we waiting for here in our earthly lives?” and “What are we going to do about it in the meantime?”

The class starts with coffee and prayer every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the lounge of Jehovah Lutheran Church with room around the table for anyone who’d like to drop in.

The lesson includes a 17-minute DVD presentation by Wright and class interaction/digging into scripture. Wright says of this study, “It is my prayer that you will see Jesus inviting you to experience and extend hope in this world, and that you will feel him walking at your side along the way.”
Dr. Wright’s bestselling book Surprised by Hope is the basis of this course. Both his book and this course will help one to gain an exciting vision of God’s final new creation and how it can transform your life right now. Everyone welcome!

Enter the Thomas Street door and take a right to the lounge.

New Wednesday Evening Women’s Bible Study
Starts February 6
“He Speaks to Me: Preparing to Hear from God”

This seven session study by Priscilla Shirer relates six characteristics found in Samuel that are applicable to women today as they tune their hearts to hear God’s voice.

By listening to God’s voice and obeying Him, women will be drawn into a closer relationship to God that brings a deeper desire to serve Him faithfully.

Each session involves video teaching by Priscilla and facilitated group discussion based on homework completed before class.

The group will meet alternate Wednesday evenings, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. starting February 6, 2013 in the church Lounge. Cost for workbook is $13.

More information is available from the church office at 651-644-1421 or Bridget at bridgetkruchowski@comcast.net.

All are welcome. Jehovah Lutheran is in St. Paul at Thomas and Snelling.
