Sunday Morning Studies
Book of Ezra
The next bible study starts on Sunday, November 10. Join us as we delve in to the Book of Ezra. Ezra narrates the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem after the decree of Cyrus the Great. This historical text details the challenges and triumphs faced by the returning community as they work to rebuild the Temple and restore religious practices. This Sunday morning Bible study offers participants a profound opportunity to connect with themes of resilience, faith, and community in the face of adversity. Participants will delve into this inspiring narrative, witness the journey of the Jewish people returning to their homeland and the challenges they overcome to rebuild their lives and restore their spiritual practices. Ezra’s dedication to the Law and his role as a leader provide valuable insights into the importance of spiritual renewal and the power of collective faith. By exploring this book, participants can gain a deeper understanding of the historical context of the Israelites, reflect on their own journey of renewal, and draw inspiration for cultivating a strong sense of community and identity in today’s world. Director of Discipleship Jennifer Hills will lead this study on Sunday mornings in the fellowship hall.

Midweek Studies
Bible Study of the Book of Acts
2nd and 4th Wednesday Mornings, 10:00-11:30 a.m.
What was the fledgling Christian church like in the New Testament era after Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension? What challenges did the apostles face as they brought the good news of Jesus to people, both Jews and Gentiles? What can we learn from these early believers for our own life in Christ today? The book of Acts will be the subject of an in-depth study in the year ahead through St. John’s Midweek Bible Class. Using materials from LifeLight Bible study through Concordia Publishing House (https://cph.org), the book of Acts will be studied over the course of the year ahead in a two-part series. The Midweek Bible Class is led by Pastor Meehan and meets twice each month on the second and fourth Wednesday at 10 am in Rooms 307-309 on the upper level of the Education Center. The first session will be on Wednesday, September 11 at 10 am. Although the class is made up mostly of retirees, anyone is welcome to participate. Study guides will be needed for the class, and are available for purchase at $12.99 each. Please contact the church office (703-971-2210, office@sjlc.com) with questions.
