Thursday Mornings Online
The World of Biblical Israel
11 AM – 12 PM
Meeting ID: 820 2308 7932
Passcode: 785905

Join Pastor Kate as we study the history and people of ancient Israel, based on a course by Professor Cynthia R. Chapman of Oberlin College.
We all have associations with the word “Israel”—a modern-day nation in the Middle East that makes up part of the biblical Holy Land. But how did ancient Israel emerge? Who were the Israelites and where did they come from? What was it like to live in biblical Israel? We'll also consider how the very meaning of the word “Israel” evolved throughout the Hebrew Bible and has changed through history.

Thursday Evenings in Person
Exploring the Book of Isaiah
7:30 – 8:30 PM
.
At GSLC in the main floor lounge (across from the worship space)
There are so many ways to explore the book of Isaiah. We'll use a biblical scholarship lens—and others as well—come join in!
Did you know that the New Testament quotes Isaiah more than any other book in the Old Testament?
In this study of the book of Isaiah, we’ll cover the spiritual resources provided by the book as well as art inspired by Isaiah. It also has amazing imagery, including of the land and natural world near Jerusalem and the region that reads like modern poetry.

About Bible Study
Ages: Adults (Youth Bible study happens in the context of Sunday School and Confirmation classes.)
Typical schedule: Multi-week sessions several times each year:
Thursdays, 11 AM - Noon
We hold Bible studies throughout the year, typically in small group format with five to eight people, usually alternating study between an Old Testament and New Testament book. Pastor Kate leads the classes, which are informal in nature with time for checking in with each other, reading and discussion. Often there is a brief video to accompany the study.
Recent studies have included:
All are welcome to join in at any time and it's okay if you can’t attend every class, need to leave early or arrive late. Nonmembers are welcome!
