Canticles of Christmas
Mondays, beginning December 3, 6:30 pm, C104
Christmas is a time of celebration, carols by candlelight and great joy! The Christmas story comes to life in the Gospel of Luke through what is known as the Canticles of Christmas. The song of Mary (The Magnificat), Zechariah (Benedictus), the angels (Gloria), and Simeon (Nunc Dimittis) present a powerful dimension of the Christmas story. Join Rev. Elizabeth Byrd for three weeks to read, listen and discuss the Canticles of Christmas. For more information contact Elizabeth Byrd at elizabethb@prumc.org.
Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations
Wednesdays, beginning January 9, 2019, 10:30 am, C104
Join Rev. Julie Wright for a study on Bishop Robert Schnase’s book that coincides with our January sermon series. Let’s look at a different posture toward our community, a deliberate outward focus, and a willingness to carry Christ’s love to where people already live, work, and play, rather than hoping people will come to us.
For more information contact Rev. Julie Wright at juliew@prumc.org.
Moral and Ethical Dilemmas
Wednesdays, beginning January 9, 2019, 6:30 pm, C208
Is it ever permissible to lie? Join Sonny Deriso in this 12-week course as we learn what many great thinkers have to say about everyday moral and ethical challenges, how we individually might consider these challenges, and how the Bible speaks to these issues.
For more information contact Rev. Elizabeth Byrd at elizabethb@prumc.org.
Three Gifts, One Christ
Fridays, beginning January 11, 2019, 12:00 pm, C104
Join Rev. Elizabeth Byrd for a 4-week Epiphany study about the three gifts the magi offered. More than gold, frankincense, and myrrh, these gifts represented the intermingling of light and darkness, truth and falsehood, life and death. Look further, and discover what Jesus offered us.
For more information contact Rev. Elizabeth Byrd at elizabethb@prumc.org.
Almost Everything: Notes on Hope
Mondays, beginning January 28, 2019, 6:30 pm, C104
Join Rev. Darren Hensley for this 5-week study on Anne Lamott’s latest book: Almost Everything: Notes on Hope. Despite the despair and uncertainty that surrounds us in the news, in our families, and in ourselves, Lamott helps us find the nuggets of hope buried deep within us to plant seeds of rejuvenation.

Thursdays, beginning March 7, 2019, 7:00 pm, C104
