SPRING STUDIES
The Strength to Love by Dr. Martin Luther King
Led by: Rev. Ed Glaize & Rev. Kathy Beach| Happens: Wednesdays, 5:30 pm| Begins: May 6 | Location: Rumple Presbyterian & Boone UMC
We gather to share in God’s truth with the good people of Rumple Presbyterian as we study Dr. King’s book. Written at the height of the civil rights struggle, this book gives us words that are much needed in our age where the falsehood of divisiveness and hate are being spread. Our meeting location will alternate between Rumple Presbyterian and Boone UMC. If you are interested, email Pastor Ed. You can find this book at Venture Wine and Chocolate in Downtown Boone, where you can support a local business with your purchase of this inspirational book.
The Word of the Lord, Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament by Nancy Guthrie
Led by: Judi Cramer| Happens: Thursdays, 9:45 am-12:00 pm| Begins: April 16 (through June 18) | Location: Room 204
Join us for this 10-week study of the Prophetic Books in the Old Testament with the goal of understanding them in the way that Jesus himself taught the disciples to read and understand the Old Testament – with him at the center. In the study of Prophetic Books, we’ll see the predictions that Jusus fulfilled. The prophets are full of specific predictions about who the Messiah would be, where he would come from, and what he would do. Jesus was the great prophet that all the prophets pointed to. To register or for questions, contact Pastor Patti.
How to Read the Psalms
Led by: Dr. Rodney Duke | Happens: Thursdays, 6:00-7:30 pm| Begins: April 9 (through May 7) | Location: Room 134
This 5-week course explores how to understand the Psalms in their Old Testament setting. This study offers a foundation to enrich Christian worship, Messianic readings, and personal prayer. To register or for questions, contact Pastor Patti.
Disciple 1 Fast Track – Becoming Disciples Through Study of Old Testament
Led by: Kelly Graeber | Happens: Mondays, 6:30-8:00 pm | Begins: Jan. 12 | Location: Room 134
This 12-week course explores the Old Testament and offers a study opportunity for people who prefer to meet in the evenings. Read three to five chapters of the Bible daily in preparation for weekly meetings.
Men’s Book Study: Things Hidden by Richard Rohr
Led by: Ed Glaize | Happens: Wednesdays, 7:00 am | Begins: Jan. 28 | Location: Room 134
As we enter a season where Boone UMC will focus on a life of prayer, Dr. Glaize is offering a study for men using Richard Rohr’s book, Things Hidden. We will discover some great themes of Scripture while also discovering “the inner experience of God,” which Rohr states is what prayer is all about. This study meets on Wednesdays, beginning Jan. 28, at 7:00 am, in Room 134.
GriefShare
Led by: Jon and Lynn Beebe | Happens: Tuesdays, 2:00–4:00 p.m. | Begins: Jan. 13 (through April 14) | Location: Room 134
GriefShare is a support group that offers a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you will discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you will learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability — and gain solid support each step of the way. You are welcome to join this group whether your loss was a long time ago or very recent.
