The Midweek themes for our Wednesday Advent services, at 7pm, will be as follows:

Dec 4: Advent 1 – Cain, the son of Adam

Women’s Thursday Evening Bible Study

Posted on November 6th, 2024

The women of Risen Christ Lutheran Church and School have started an evening bible study!

The ladies meet on Thursday evenings at 7:00pm in the church library. Books are available and ladies are welcome to join any time.

Join us for a 7-sesson study titled Luke in the Land. These snapshots from the Gospel of Luke will challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through teaching videos that take you to locations such as Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, you’ll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody.

The great thing about the Bible study “Luke in the Land” is that each book has its own access code so if you miss a meeting, you can still watch the video on your own. Please join us on Thursday evenings!

If you have any questions, please contact Jo Baumgardner.

See you there!

Sunday Bible Study

Posted on November 6th, 2024

You are invited to join us at Risen Christ Lutheran Church every Sunday at 9:00am for Sunday school for all ages.   

Join the kids as they look at God’s word through fun and interesting lesson and activities.  

Note that the adult Bible class is looking at a great study series from Lutheran Hour Ministries entitled “How We Got the Bible.”  It is a combination of video presentation, class discussion and Bible reading.  If you attend, you will learn something of value.  If you don’t attend, you will miss that something of value.  You do not need to be a Bible scholar to join us. 

See you Sunday at 9:00am!
