Adult Bible Study meets every Monday morning, from September 11, 2006 through June , except for a few holidays, in St. Barbara I at 9:30 a.m. for one hour. Fr. Don Monson will be the leader. </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0;"><strong>Education For Ministry<br> </strong>All baptized Christians are called to be ministers of Christ. This is reflected in our baptismal covenant in which we promise to, “Proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ.” “Seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves.” Strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.” Education for Ministry, more commonly known as EFM, is a program to equip lay people for their personal ministries. </p> <p style="margin-top:0;">EFM is a program of theological education-at-a-distance from the School of Theology of the University of the South. It is offered in a small group setting. Students typically meet one night a week during the academic year for four years. During that time, they develop a solid grounding in the Old Testament, New Testament, and church history. They review the works of theologians from the beginning of the Christian Church to the present with emphasis on theologians of the last two centuries. They develop a technique to think theologically and learn how to apply this process to everyday situations. The students develop a life in Christ through worship and prayer, define their personal theology and plan for their future lay ministry. For further information and class times, contact Fr. Deane Lierle, Duane Hoole, Allan Johnson, Sue Kapp, Peter Roy, or Evie Smith. Messages can be left for them at the Church Office. </p> <p><strong> </strong><strong>Book Discussion Group<br> </strong>The Book Discussion Group welcomes anyone who enjoys challenging reading and spirited discussion. The group read s mainly nonfiction books, and an occasional novel. The books are selected to help develop spirituality and a greater understanding of our faith and the faith of others . Meetings are held in the Urbano Library from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. normally on the first Wednesday of the month. This will be our 22nd season! </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0;">For more information, call Sue Kapp at 623-847-1882 . <strong>For a reading list of the books we will be discussing this year, <a href="documents/BookDiscussionGroup2006-2007.pdf">click here.</a></strong></p> <p align="left"> </p> <p> </p></td> </tr> </table>
