BIBLE/BOOK STUDIES
Adult Christian Education classes:
The Adult Christian Education program is an integral part of Lititz Church of the Brethren. Lititz COB historically has encouraged a vibrant Adult Education program. There are Sunday School classes available for all ages and levels of interest. Guidance, spiritual growth, fellowship, service and participation in studies of the Bible are available through group activities with fellow believers.
Builders – International Lesson (guided, thematic Bible study)
Cornerstone – International Lesson, monthly service projects
Friendship – International Lesson
Lamplighters – The Wired Word (current events-based Bible study, theme changes weekly)
Open Door – The Wired Word
Pathfinders – International Lesson
Zoom Sunday School – The Wired Word and electives
Sunday morning elective classes and weeknight book studies are approved by the Christian Education Action Team and the pastoral staff. All are invited to take advantage of these opportunities to learn and grow together. Zoom links appear in our Wednesday Observer or our Friday worship email.
Sunday School Electives may be a one-time informational session to learn about ministries of the church; or they may be sessions lasting several weeks to explore, discuss and reflect on topics that impact our lives today as followers of Jesus in the 21st century. There is no need to pre-register, unless otherwise indicated.
Here are the current electives being planned and the dates they are being offered:
Lay-led Book Studies are offered on Zoom on weeknights periodically during the year. They are times for discussion, reflection and sharing centered around a book. For information on registering for a book study contact the church office or the contact person listed with the book study.
Pastors lead Bible Studies on Zoom on weeknights. The leader picks the biblical text or theme for each study. We have previously focused on Psalms, Mark, the parables of Matthew, Peace and Nonviolence in the Old Testament, Immigration in the Bible, Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery, Advent, among others. Bible Study is currently paused while we intentionally await a pastoral search.
