Wednesday Morning Bible Study

A Bible Study about Jesus

The Wisdom Jesus: Transforming Heart and Mind –

A New Perspective on Christ and His Message by Cynthia Bourgeault

 

Led by the Rev. Anne Richards

 

Wednesday Morning Adult Education      10-11 a.m. in the Education Center

 

We will reflect on key portions of Scripture about Jesus as we discuss Cynthia Bourgeault’s recently published The Wisdom Jesus: Transforming Heart and Mind – A New Perspective on Christ and His Message (in The Den now). Photocopies of the reading for the first class are in the narthex and in Morrill Hall.

 

All are warmly welcome to attend this conversational class, either weekly or occasionally. Please come even if you haven’t had time to do the reading! Mother Anne will recap the reading briefly at the start of each class.

 

The Holy Eucharist is celebrated in the chapel at 9:30 a.m. each Wednesday; it concludes by 10:00 a.m. Please consider deepening your spiritual life with this encounter with the living Christ before we encounter Him in the Word in class.
