October 29, November 5, 12, and 19 from 6:30-7:30 Atonement Lutheran Church Abiding Savior, Atonement, and Cross of Glory Lutheran Churches (aka BrightView) have gotten together for Confirmation and Vacation Bible School. Now the grown-ups get a turn! Rev. Dr. Sarah Henrich, interim pastor at Atonement, formerly a New Testament professor at Luther Seminary, will lead a class in the Acts of the Apostles on four Monday nights from 6:30-7:30. Everyone is warmly invited to come learn more about Acts and the beginnings of Christian communities in the earliest times. Acts begins with Jesus teaching his followers in Jerusalem, moves quickly Jesus’ gift of the Holy Spirit, and then we’re off throughout the world of the northern Mediterranean all the way to Rome. Apostles and other dedicated followers face all the questions that confront believers in every time and place. Who is the God we serve? How does serving our God square with being subjects of a country or an empire? What is required of followers? How do we tell the story of God's love to people who have no framework? Follow the stories of Peter and Paul, Dorcas and Philip, Roman governors and sea captains as Christian communities navigate a world without Jesus, but full of the power of the Holy Spirit. There is much to learn for our own time.
