This year’s study is Love Carved in Stone: A Fresh Look at the Ten Commandments by Eugenia Anne Gamble.
What would it mean to consider the Ten Commandments not as a harsh list of what not to do but, instead, as a “love letter” from a loving God? A fresh embrace of the Ten Commandments (or Words), author Eugenia Gamble suggests, may ultimately contribute to the restoration of ourselves and our communities and the furthering of the gospel in the world. “Moral behavior matters, not simply because immoral actions can anger or disappoint God, but because principled behavior is how love becomes real, both toward God and in community.” Love Carved in Stone is a Bible study that helps us reframe the way we look at and live in the world. Each lesson begins with an exploration of one of the Ten Words in its biblical context. From there we consider a moment from Jesus’ life that shows us how he lived out that Word. We then consider the Word for our own lives and contexts. We conclude with an invitation to pray with the Word in our circles or study groups and in our personal devotions.
On November 7 th the PrimeTimers will drive down the Natchez Trace Parkway to view the beautiful scenery. A few stops are being planned along the way, and we will dine at the Café on the Square in Columbia. Our bus and caravan will leave church at 10:00 and will return ~2:15 pm. Email Betty Barcheski to sign up: [email protected]  

Jason's Deli box dinner will be provided. SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE !
