QUEST (Voyager 101) – NEW SESSION!
Visitors, people
new to the Lutheran Christian faith, and those seeking a refresher course in
God’s promises to us and how we as a body of Christ understand and celebrate
them – YOU are invited to join leader Jon Deer (Grace elder and soon-to-be

Christian and learn about church membership at Grace. The class will help you
understand what we believe and teach through a study of foundational Bible
teachings. Plus, you will come to know the vision and purpose of Grace Lutheran
Church and School. This 18 week course meets Sundays in the Senior’s Room in
the Family Life Center from 9:40-10:30am (starts April 29th).
TWO NEW
VOYAGER ADULT COURSES!…
THE “I AM”
STATEMENTS OF JESUS
Ever wonder about the “I
am” statements of Jesus in John’s Gospel? I have … and now I am going to take
the time to unravel them one-by-one over seven weeks. Some of these statements
are fairly easy to grasp. We kind of know about the “Way, the Truth, and the
Life” statement because we hear of it so often. And the “I am the Resurrection
and the Life” statement is often promoted around Easter. Calling Jesus the “Good
Shepherd” is fairly easy to get our minds around also. But what is this “door”
stuff and this “bread of life” and the “vine” stuff? What is that all about?
Come and let’s discover together during morning Bible Study with Pastor Rick on
seven Sundays of spring.
1) April 29 - “I am
the Bread of Life” (John 6:30-35)
2) May 6 - “I am the
Light of the World” (John 8:12)
3) May 13 - “I am the
Door” (John 10:7-9)
4) May 20 - “I am the
Good Shepherd” (John 10:11-18)
5) June 3 - “I am the
Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:17-26)
6) June 10 - “I am
the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:5-6)
7) June 17 - “I am
the True Vine” (John 15:1-5)
PRAYER
“Prayer is a powerful weapon. It is an
indispensable weapon. It takes practice to wield it. It takes courage and time
and spiritual energy.” Elisabeth Elliot
Using the Bible, the
catechism, and the hymnbook this six week study, which is part of Concordia’s
new Lutheran Spirituality series, will lead participants in exploring the
work and blessing of prayer so as to learn more of God’s intent for this
precious gift and increase your comfort in using it. Join elder Freddy
Crespo as he leads this course through May.
