Sunday School for Grown-Ups
'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 called 'Making Sense of Paul' and ran for 25 sessions from November 2022 to this March. This month, a new ten-week course begins called 'Making Sense of the Pentateuch'. After a first session introducing the Old Testament, we will look in turn at Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy seeking to understand their nature and message.
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 will 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 of these courses 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'.
Last year, Stephen did an interview with Ian Paul about 'Sunday School for Grown Ups', covering how and why this initiative came into being - including why its name was chosen. You can read all about it on Ian's Psephizo blog.
