Sunday School /Adult Studies
Adult Book Study to begin Thursday, May 24, 2018 at 7 pm
Our last study for the 2017-2018 program year is Revelation and the End Times: Unraveling God’s Message of Hope by Ben Witherington III. Ben Witherington III is an American New Testament scholar, is Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky, and an ordained pastor in the United Methodist Church. This 5-week study incorporates a DVD with the author, and discussion regarding this intriguing book of the Bible that includes passages of great beauty and comfort and some that may strike you as bizarre, bewildering, or even frightening. Yet, found within this book filled with rich and perplexing symbolism is the message of hope for all Christians.
The last class will be on June 21. You are always invited and encouraged to bring a friend with you to participate in our study led by Anne Lee. For further information, contact the church office at 315-685-5963.
