Wednesday Night Classes

Wholly Wednesday dinner and bible study roughly follows the Duval County school year. Wednesday Night Classes are held at 6PM, following Wholly Wednesday dinner. Everyone is invited to attend the classes even if you are not able to attend dinner.

THEOLOGY & THE CHURCH:  
Join Rev. Dr. Paul Hooker, our Executive Presbyter, in room 225 as he leads a new adult class focused on four key theological ideas that underlie our notion of what it means to be the church:
       ~ Feb. 29: The Doctrine of the Trinity
       ~ March 7: The Doctrine of Providence
       ~ March 14: The Doctrine of Eschatology
       ~ March 28: The Doctrine of Election
Each week will involve exploring the theological idea, and then looking at its impact on how we go about our common life as Presbyterians. If you have never attended a class with Paul, you are in for a real treat!

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD:  
Join Dr. Kolb in the Prayer Chapel for Centering Prayer. What is Centering Prayer? Centering Prayer is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. It is an exercise of faith, hope, and love. It is a movement beyond conversation with Christ to communion. It habituates us to the language of God which is silence. Centering Prayer is not a technique, a relaxation exercise, a form of self-hypnosis, a charismatic gift, or a para-psychological experience. It is not limited to the “felt” presence of God. During the prayer we avoid analyzing our experience, harboring expectations, or aiming at some specific goals such as: repeating the sacred word continuously, having no thoughts, making the mind blank, feeling peaceful or consoled, or achieving a spiritual experience. We sit quietly in the presence of God and allow ourselves to be loved by God, and to love God.

“JAMES: MERCY TRIUMPHS”
Led by Allison Turknett. Meets in Room 222
It is said that James can be compared to the prophet Amos and also resembles the Book of Proverbs.  Join the women’s Bible-study group for this new Beth Moore study and explore topics such as joy, hardship, faith, reversal of fortune, humility and prayer through the eyes of James.  Women of all ages are welcome! Everyone is welcome to try the class to see what a Beth Moore study is like.
