Meeting on the second and fourth Sunday evenings of the month, 'Sunday School for Grown Ups' provides the opportunity to go deeper in getting to grips with the Bible and Christian Theology through talks and discussion in groups.
'Sunday School for Grown Ups' comprises a series of courses; the first of these was 'Making Sense of Paul', which started in November 2022 and completed in March 2024. The current course, which started in April 2024, is called ‘Making Sense of the Pentateuch’. Food is available from 6.00 pm with the talks and discussion starting from 6.30 pm. The evening finishes at 8.00 pm.
We also have 'rerun' evening sessions on the first and third Mondays of each month (eight days after each Sunday session). Monday sessions will start with drinks and nibbles from 8.00 pm with the session beginning at 8.15 pm and finishing by 9.45 pm.
The aim is to provide members of Christ Church (and anyone else who wants to come) with a greater opportunity to explore the Bible and Theology and, through this, both as a church and individuals, to be more equipped for the living out of our Christian faith.
Courses planned for the future include: ‘Making Sense of the History Books', ‘Making Sense of Jesus and the Gospels’, ‘Making Sense of the Wisdom Books’ and 'Making Sense of the First Five Centuries of the Church' and 'Making Sense of the Reformation'.
In June of last year, Stephen did an interview with Ian Paul about Sunday School for Grown Ups which you can still read on Ian's Psephizo blog.
(The second session of the Paul course, which looked at 'Perspectives on Paul', referenced a talk by Stephen Kuhrt on Martin Luther, which was given on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017. You can listen to it here.)
