Short-Term Disciple Bible Study on the Old Testament

We will begin an eight-week study of the Old Testament on Thursday, September 16, at 7:00 pm. The class will be led by UPark member Curtis Crichton and is open to all adults interested in discussing and learning about the Old Testament. What does it mean to be God's chosen people? How does the story of Israel's covenant with God inform our own identity as heirs of that covenent? Participants will be invited to listen with "new" ears to the witness of the Old Testament and to hear God's call and purpose for their own lives. For more information, contact Duane Buys at 303/722-5736 X110 or dbuys@universityparkumc.org.
