Marketplace People | Meeting on Zoom or in G-9
The Marketplace class is working its way through Paul’s letters to the churches at Philippi and Colosse. Philippi was his first church plant in Europe and, while there is no record of his visiting Colosse, the Word may have made its way there through some of Paul’s followers. Whatever the case, Paul felt compelled to write to the Philippians and Colossians, with whom he had spent little time, to encourage them in their faith.
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 inductive Bible study first to see what the Bible says, then to discern through the Holy Spirit what the passage means, and finally to investigate how to apply those truths to our lives. All are welcome to attend and encouraged to participate. The class meets in person and via Zoom, which is perfect for those traveling or who just want to attend occasionally.
Facilitators: Charles Fowler or Carolyn Ashworth

Upper Room | Room G15 and on Zoom
“In our own woundedness, we can become a source of life for others.”
In his hope-filled and profoundly simple book The Wounded Healer, Henri Nouwen offers a radically fresh interpretation of how we can best serve others. Here he inspires devoted men and women who want to be of service in their church or community, but who have found some traditional practices of outreach alienating and ineffective. Nouwen has come up with a balanced and creative theology of service that begins with the realization of fundamental woundedness to human nature. This book is a thoughtful and insightful guide that will be welcomed by anyone engaged in the service of others. This multi-generational class welcomes participants of all ages and stages.
