Upcoming Sunday Morning Forums

Preaching Forum | Sunday, October 17 | 9:45 a.m. | Parish Hall West

The Preaching Forum is a wonderful blend of a bible study with the opportunity to learn more about the context of the morning’s sermon. Greg Knight will have a conversation with the day’s preacher in a discussion that dives into the lectionary readings and the insights they inspire.

Theology in Film: AT FIRST SIGHT
October 19 & 26| 7:00 pm | Zoom

Please join us by using the following Zoom link for all classes: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86058259817.

Theology in Film continues with a discussion of Mark 46-52: That I May See on October 19. Before he healed the blind man, Jesus first asked what the man wanted him to do. Jesus does not impose; he responds to needs and requests. We will pair this scripture with the movie AT FIRST SIGHT (1999): A blind man has an operation to regain his sight at the urging of his girlfriend and must deal with the changes to his life. The film discussion will be on October 26.

Theology in Film is a class for adults that meets via Zoom on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:00 p.m. Films are assigned every other week for participants to watch on their own. The movies discussed are typically available on popular streaming platforms or digital rental and are also frequently available on DVD through the Palm Beach Library System.

Ladies Bible Study: Parables of Jesus

Through November 10 | 10:00 a.m. | Guild Room

This ladies’ bible study meets in the Guild Room Wednesday mornings, 10:00 to 11:30 a.m., during the academic year, with breaks that coincide with school vacations. Participants are primarily ladies with school-age families. We use video-based topical studies with ample time for group discussion — but we also change up our format from time to time! Themes we’ve covered in the past: God’s Grace, Using Words Wisely, The Miracles of Jesus; Ruth, Philippians, “Bible 101.”

All levels of biblical literacy are welcome. We participate in at least two outreach events every year, such as the Easter Homebound Luncheon and Angel Tree project. Sorry, childcare is currently not available for this study.
