SUNDAY MORNING CLASS SERIES

Church According to Paul: Participating Together in the Mission of God, A Study of Philippians, Colossians & Philemon

Our new adult Bible class series

b e g i n s t h e f i r s t  S u n d a y  i n

September. This series will pay

attention to how Paul talks about

the church in relation to God's

mission in the world using the

letters of Philippians, Colossians

and Philemon as the basis for our

conversation.

In his book,  The Mission of God:

Unlocking the Bible's Grand

Narrative, Christopher Wright

makes a good observation: "It is

not so much the case that God has

a mission for his church in the world

but that God has a church for his

mission in the world." How do

Paul's letters reveal that mission,

and how does he call the church to

participate within it?

Join us for the conversation!
