Adult Forum is a time for exploration, study and reflection about living fully as God's people. Adult Forum meets each Sunday, beginning right at 9:45am, the same time as Sunday School, and ending at 10:45am.

Five or six-week courses on important topics

In blocks of five or six weeks each, we will examine three important questions of Christ-centered living:

Ethics: How do we make key decisions as followers of Christ?

January 11 to February 22

The Bible as Book of Faith: How do we sink our roots deeper into God and Christ?

March 8 to April 5

Relationships: How do we live with one another each day with meaning and joy?

April 19 to May 17

On the Sundays in between the course dates listed above, Adult Forum will also be held and we will have some special on session classes.

Looking ahead to the season of Lent, which starts on Feb. 25th with Ash Wednesday. Pastor Jaech invites the whole congregation to commit itself to a seven week study of the Bible. During the Sunday Adult Forum time (9:45am - 10:45 am), beginning March 1, a class will be offered in the Fellowship Hall entitled Book of Faith: A Lutheran Look at the Bible. In this class you will learn:

* How was the Bible written?

* How were the books of the Bible chosen?

* What are the main themes of the Bible?

* What is the unique Lutheran way to interpret the Bible?

The forty days of Lent present a key opportunity to deepen our connection to God in a variety of ways through worship, prayer, study and service. This year, our overview study of the Bible will be a meaningful way to do that. Pastor Jaech has a goal of signing up at least 40 people to take this class! Together we will take an exciting journey through the Bible.

Also, Pastor Jaech will offer three Lutheran History and Teaching classes the following Sunday mornings during the Adult Forum time (9:45am) on January 11, 18, 25. These classes are designed for you to learn about the Lutheran Church - we welcome newcomers and "seasoned" Lutheran's alike to join the classes. For those interested in becoming members of BLSC, we recommend that you attend these classes. Contact pastor Jaech if you have questions.

Look what's happening on Sunday's in February at 9:45 AM in the sanctuary. (Adult Forum will meet in the fellowship hall).
