Explore is an adult Bible study class that meets each week in the parlor at 9:30.  They dig into the lectionary texts for the upcoming week, “exploring” the Scripture, questioning each other, and learning together.   This is a great systematic way to learn about the Bible.  Participants of all ages bring their individual perspectives and questions.  
What is a Lectionary?
A lectionary is a collection of readings or selections from the Scriptures, arranged and intended for proclamation during the worship of the people of God. Lectionaries were known and used in the fourth century, where major churches arranged the Scripture readings according to a schedule which follows the calendar of the church's year.  This practice of assigning particular readings to each Sunday and festival has continued through the history of the Christian Church
     Most Sundays, Pastor Al uses a portion of the Revised Common Lectionary readings in worship  If you’re interested in this class, you may want to pick up a calendar of the readings from the office.  Many translations of the Bible are available in our library.   Rev Dick Morgan is the class leader.
