Immanuel concludes school year with two multi-part studies for adults

Immanuel will conclude its adult education year with two multi-session studies.

Interested in a real life, real time conversation about the book of Revelation? Join us in the adult forum at 9:15 on May 1, 8 and 15 for this conversation with Don Arney and Carolyn Wilson. Meanwhile, dust off your Bible and put your own spin on the book. Over the years the book of Revelation had caused persistent theological questions, frequent consternation and much confusion in the church. Its interpretation has caused some splinter groups to predict the end of the world. When the end does not arrive, the date is recalculated only to frighten people for a future date. It’s hard to see how this is the Good New of Jesus Christ.

Melodee Blobaum will lead the six-week study of “The Lord is My Shepherd: Healing Wisdom of the Twenty-Third Psalm” by Harold S. Kushner at 9:15 a.m. on Sundays in the prayer room, starting May 1 and continuing through June 12. The group will not meet on Sunday, May 29, because of the Memorial Day holiday.

Each session will cover several chapters of the book, corresponding to the six verses of the Psalm. The weekly reading load averages about 35 to 40 pages.

The book is available online from www.amazon.com for $10.40 plus taxes, shipping and handling, and in store at most Barnes and Noble locations for $10.42 plus taxes. It is available in Nook and Kindle versions, as well.
