Grace Groups offer IPC members an opportunity to get to know other members and study the scriptures in a small group setting. Groups will meet in various places over six-weeks from October 11 - November 21. The study book is: "Encounters with Jesus: Unexpected Answers to Life's Biggest Questions" by Timothy J. Keller.
The Upward Way class, led by Bill Casey and Lant Davis, will study Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes: Cultural Studies in the Gospels by Kenneth E. Bailey this fall.
Life under the sun can often leave us burdened and weary. In this busy, chaotic world in which we live, we can often question what is the ultimate purpose of our life and labor. Fortunately, God not only acknowledges this struggle, but the Bible gives us language to express our existential turmoil. If life sometimes leaves you weighed down, please "lay down your weary tune" (Bob Dylan, 1964) and join IPC's Young Adults for a study of the living wisdom found in the Book of Ecclesiastes. This study will be led by Gaige Tittle, IPC Seminary Intern, over ~12 weeks this fall.
The Gospel at Risk? Confessing the Faith Today
The Reformed tradition is a confessing tradition, proclaiming its faith through creeds and confessions when “the truth of the Gospel is at risk.” This four-week Sunday School series meets Sundays, October 11–November 1, at 10 am in Room 305 and will be led by professors from Columbia Theological Seminary. Together, the class will examine two PC(USA) confessions and the proposed new confession, considering what they teach us about living out the Gospel today.
Join us on Monday, October 19 at 7 pm at The Grocery for Beer & Hymns! Beer & Hymns is exactly what it sounds like. We sing old-timey hymns (plus a few new ones) while enjoying good food and beverages.
Are you helping care for an aging parent while also supporting children, work, or other family responsibilities?
