PLUM Summer Discussion Series - Scripture Study

On Sept. 15 and 17, PLUM began a 10-week fall series of study, ending with the start of Advent.  There will be two different sessions each week: Tuesdays (at 1:00 pm) and Thursdays (at 7:00 pm).  All are invited to one or both sessions.

The Tuesday class will focus on Scripture Study, as requested by some members.  Ten passages of Scripture, from 8 different books of the Bible, will be read and discussed.  This will not be an academic class.  Emphasis will be on discussion.  It is expected that the discussion will lead us to applying Scripture to current issues of our day.

The Thursday Evening class will focus on a book entitled, “The Color of Compromise” by Jemar Tisby, a graduate of Notre Dame and the Reformed Theological Seminary.  The book is available on Amazon and in the form of a series of videos (that correlate with the chapters in the book) on Prime Video.  This is a serious look at Racism and, in particular, the Church’s participation in the development of Racism and its potential role to overcome it.  Key words in this book are Awareness, Relationships and Commitments (A.R.C.).

Most sessions will be led by the Pastoral Team.  Come, enjoy the company of PLUM, learn, and pray together.
