Marketplace People | Meeting on Zoom or in G-9
Come and visit the Marketplace Class as they explore how a ragged handful of Jesus’ followers responded to his commands to go, tell, send, feed, shepherd, and follow, and received the power to become his witnesses. The study begins in the last two chapters of John and continues into Acts. Whether you’re a seeker, a questioner or longtime churchgoer, already in a class or want to try a different one, this new study welcomes you. Marketplace People is a multi-generational group that uses various Bible translations and commentaries to approach the scripture from different perspectives, and always guided by the Holy Spirit. All are welcome to attend and encouraged to participate. The class meets via Zoom, which is perfect for those traveling or who just want to attend occasionally. To learn more, please contact class leaders Charles Fowler or Carolyn Ashworth.
Facilitators: Charles Fowler or Carolyn Ashworth

Upper Room | Room G15 and on Zoom
The Upper Room class is currently taking a unique approach to Bible study using a technique called Visio Divina which uses a sacred painting as the starting point for prayerfully contemplating a book or a passage of scripture. Terry Slaughter is leading the study beginning with Rembrandt’s The Return of the Prodigal Son and Henri Nouwen’s book of the same name. All are welcome to visit the class for some or all of this study.
Facilitator: Samantha Plumb
Making a Home for Faith | Room G16 and on Zoom
In The Cross Before Me: Reimagining the Way to the Good Life, award-winning author Rankin Wilbourne and co-author Brian Gregor offer a provocative perspective on why the cross is God’s wisdom about the way to a good and beautiful life. The book asks questions such as, “What does the cross have to tell us about the art of living a fully human life? What if the things we’re most afraid of are the pathway to freedom?” You can pick up the book here or contact Larry Michael.
Facilitator: The Rev. Dr. Larry Michael
