The classes and programs listed here are the ones that reoccur at a set time, but there's a whole lot more going on here. To see a full list of our upcoming events, or to find out exactly when things are scheduled, take a look at our events<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Classes<\/h2>\n

These classes are for everyone who wants to explore God's Word and talk about what it means to live according to its teachings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n
Scripture Study Class<\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

When:\u00a0<\/strong>every other Friday from 8:00 - 9:30 pm<\/p>\n

Where:\u00a0<\/strong>the church lobby<\/p>\n

This is a discussion-based exploration of the Bible. The format is very simple: we read a little bit, and then talk about the reading. We treat the Word as a guidebook for our lives; our goal is not simply to understand it, but to understand why God gave it to us and what He's asking us to do. If you're interested in joining a class, but aren't sure which one, then this is a good place to start.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n
Arcana Study Class<\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

When:\u00a0<\/strong>twice a month on Thursdays from 10:00 - 11:30 am<\/p>\n

Where:\u00a0<\/strong>the church lobby<\/p>\n

This class is very similar to the Scripture Study class, except that instead of the Bible, it explores the teachings of the New Church. The class takes its name from the book\u00a0Arcana Coelestia<\/em> (Latin for \"Secrets of Heaven\"), one of the books of the teachings of the New Church. You can learn more about\u00a0Arcana Coelestia\u00a0<\/em>and New Church theology here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Programs and Events<\/h2>\n

These are just a few of our connection-and-community oriented offerings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n
Potluck Lunch<\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

When:\u00a0<\/strong>once a month on a Sunday immediately after church<\/p>\n

Where:\u00a0<\/strong>the church hall<\/p>\n

Good food is one of the best tools for building happy communities. Potlucks are a fun social event for the whole family; everyone simply heads down to the church hall after worship, and then they eat!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
