Bible study
Bible study is held on Sunday mornings from 9:00–9:45 am. We will continue to offer an option to join virtually via Zoom if you desire. If you would like to receive a Zoom link, please email us. Handouts are posted below for each session.
christian communication
With the recent pandemic, plentiful screen time, and rising societal polarization, it's no secret that in-person communication can be a struggle these days. This Bible study is unique in that it will incorporate a facet of scholarly communication theory and integrate that aspect of communication into the Christian life. After a devotional thought in each section, we will practice how to use that aspect of communication theory to better communicate in a lovingly, respectful, and tactful way to the people in our lives.
april 7: whole messages
Today we introduce our study by discussing why good communication is so needed in our day and reflecting on each person's individual communication style. We will examine wisdom from the book of Proverbs about gentle communication, before we spend most of the time with the aspect of communication theory known as whole messages. We will then apply this four part way of communicating (observation, thought, feeling, need) to reaching out to people at church who have not attended in awhile.

APRIL 14: personality theory
Today we continue our study by exploring how different personality types communicate. We will see how Jesus included people of different personalities and background in his group of disciples, just as he does today. Each person will be able to self-identify as a personality type (commonly referred to as introvert/extrovert and thinking/feeling) and what they wish other people would know more about them. We will then apply this by practicing communicating with people of different personality types as you.
