Bible Classes
Sundays
Every Sunday, an adult Bible class meets during Sunday School, beginning at 9:30, at church. This continues from September through May.
Getting Into God's Word
This weekly class will begin in September, held at several times through the week. Most likely, we will have one evening time and one daylight time at Bethany in The Dalles, as well as a session held in Hood River at Concordia and the class Thursdays in Klickitat at Grace Lutheran Church. Some class materials are available through our Moodle site, where you'll have to create a login to get them.
Getting Into God's Word will span several units of lessons, designed to help you get the most out of your Bible. It's appropriate for ages ten and up, for both members and non-members. If you might be interested in attending, please participate in our online poll to see what times work best in your schedule. There are separate polls for those who plan to attend at Bethany and at Concordia.
Midweek
According to the schedule on our calendar, another class meets Tuesdays at 7:00 PM, at church. This class also continues from September through May or early June.
We also have a Sunday class after church. At 1:45 we meet for "Confessing Jesus," which is a study of the Lutheran Confessions, also known as the Book of Concord. At the moment, we are in the Augsburg Confession. This class is probably of greatest interest to catechized Lutherans, though everyone is welcome, as always.
Friday mornings there is an Advanced Bible History class at 9:30, especially geared toward confirmed youth. After that is a class we call Gottesdienst, which means "Divine Service." That one progresses through the Catechism and the liturgy of the Divine Service.
Monthly
On the first Saturday each month, a men's Bible class meets after breakfast. This continues year-round. We are currently studying the letter to the Hebrews.
On the second Thursday of each month, the Mary Martha circle meets in the evening. There is a short Bible study included as part of that meeting, too.
