Fall 2025 Studies
Signs and Wonders Book Study
Dates: September 18 – October 23
Location: CUMC Parlor
Cost: $20.00
You are invited to join us as we explore the miracles of Jesus in a historical and theological context. Learn how you can draw meaning from Jesus’ words and actions from past witnesses and how they understood the events. This is a 6-week book study. We will look at the BIG QUESTION of not “did this happen?” But “what does it mean?” And ultimately, “so what?” How can these old miracle stories speak good news into our lives in this time and place?
The Difficult Words of Jesus Book Study
Dates: November 6 – December 18
Location: CUMC Parlor
Cost: $18.00
Sometimes Jesus spoke words that His followers then and now have a hard time understanding. Sometimes it was, “SAY WHAT?” In the Difficult Words of Jesus, we will look at these difficult teachings and how they would have sounded to the people who first heard them, how these teachings have been understood over time, and how we interpret them through the Gospel of love and reconciliation.
