Adult Forum Calendar

Welcome to Adult Forum.  Everyone is invited, and we hope you will take advantage of these opportunities to come and learn.

ADULT FORUM NEWS

The Adult Forum will conclude its study of Islam on April 6.  The group will then turn its attention to the founder of our own Christian denomination.  Using the 2004 film Luther starring Joseph Fiennes, Lori Hogg and Elaine Haag will guide us through a fresh look at the complex man who courageously followed his conscience and without intending to fueled the Protestant Reformation.  Perhaps all of us remember the basic facts, but how much of what we learned have we forgotten and how much did we misunderstand or never learn?  This is our opportunity to find out and to get a better understanding of this man to whom we owe so much.  We hope you will be among those engaged in this exploration.

This course will begin on April 13 and conclude on May 25.  We will then adjourn for the summer; however, the Adult Curriculum Committee will be busy planning next year’s schedule.  They are always open to ideas so if you have a suggestion, call Dilys Schuettler or leave a message in the office with Robin Orner. 

GOD’S  Call!

 As Lutherans we often think about Pastors being “called”.  Have you ever thought that God has called you?  If so, when and how were you called? Are calls from God different for each of us? If you say no, I’ve never thought that God has called me, then are you willing to give it some thought and look at what scripture says about being called? Have you thought about why you are in fellowship with other believers at First Lutheran?

During the four Sundays in April, a Bible study will be held to study God’s call to Moses, Simon Peter, and St. Paul. We will learn some very significant facts, for example, that God does not call in a general way. We will learn the specifics of each call.  We will learn that God gives power to those HE calls to fulfill their responsibility. 

Dates: April 6, 13, 20, & 27   Time: 9 – 9:45 a.m.  

Place:  Martin Luther Room   Leader: Bill Schirmer
