Covenant (9:45 a.m. Congregation House) January 17, 24, and 31 Tony Abbott, Professor Emeritus of English at Davidson College, will teach “The Still, Small Voice of Grace: The Gilead trilogy of Marilynne Robinson.” Many scholars of literature and religion consider Marilynne Robinson the most important contemporary religious novelist in America. We will look at her prize-winning trilogy — Gilead, Home and Lila — and explore just what it is about her work that creates such passionate praise and excitement.
Jubilee (9:45 a.m. Jetton Hall) The Jubilee Class is partnering with Presbyterian Women to offer “Water and the Word," a series for the five Sundays in January in Jetton Hall at the 9:45 Sunday School hour. The series will first evaluate water’s role in our everyday lives and then explore the role and symbolism of water in scripture. This study complements Presbyterian Women's current year-long focus, "Come to the Waters." We invite all interested persons to attend. Included are the following areas:
Water in Our Daily Lives: natural resource, water process, affordability, conservation, planned development, stewardship, and philanthropy
Water in Our Daily Lives: natural resource, water process, affordability, conservation, planned development, stewardship, and philanthropy
Water in Scripture (adapted from "Come to the Waters," published by Horizons: the Magazine for Presbyterian Women)
Maloney (9:45 a.m. Parlor) The Pines (Marshall Room) Jan. 17: An Unfaithful Bride: Hosea 1 Jan. 24: A Wedding in Cana: John 2:1-12 Jan. 31: The Death of a Friend: John 11:38-44
The Wired Word (11:00 a.m. Parlor) Each week we will have an opportunity to discuss a current event with the help of Biblical and theological resources. Those who wish may have the upcoming topic emailed to them prior to class—send a request email to [email protected]. All High School age and Adults are welcome to get some coffee in the tent and come to the parlor for lively discussion.

If Jesus could transform
common water into wedding wine
spit and dirt into new sight troubled sea
into a pathway well water
into living water Could Christ transform
the waters of my life shallow murky
polluted stagnant
sour into a shower of blessing?
