The Sermon Roundtable - A Unique Form of
Bible Study |
|
Leader: Steve Hancock |
|
Noon ♦ Library |
|
In this unique form of Bible Study, participants in this class study the Bible by reflecting
on the biblical text that is being preached in worship
the following Sunday. Steve Hancock leads the
discussion, and each week provides background material
about the historical context of the passage,
definitions, of key words, authorship, and other
information that will be helpful in interpreting the
text. The class is invited to interact with the author
of the text, discuss such questions as, “What does the
author seem to be saying?” “What do I want to say in
response?” Class members are invited to identify
important ideas or themes that are prominent as they
reflect on the biblical text in relation to their own
lives, the church, and the world around them. The
following Sunday in worship, they have the opportunity
to hear the sermon preached they helped create. |

Second Readers |
|
Leader: Fayrene
Johnson |
|
Third Wednesdays,
4:30 PM ♦ Room 60 |

Second Readers is a
group of women who enjoy reading and discussing
books. Their choice of books is varied. Some are
books they wish they had read before. Some are
current bestsellers. Some are books they are
reading for a second time from a new perceptive.
Usually there is a broad theme that ties the books
together. Among the writers they have read are
Graham Greene, Eudora Welty, John Irving, Albert
Camus, Virginia Woolf, Willie Morris, and Evelyn
Waugh. At the September meeting Alice Ann Munson,
UALR Department of English, will present a book
review. Visitors and new members are always
welcome. Contact Fayrene Johnson 663-2733 or
fayrenej@att.net for more information. |
