Wednesday’s Worship-Study Presentation - Soloman’s reputation for “wisdom” is followed on
Wednesday by Dr. Koester’s presentation on the rich material of “Psalms” – biblical texts we use every Sunday in our worship. What are they, where did they come from, how were they used in Israel’s worship life and why are they so much a part of our Christian worship life today? Can’t wait to know more about the Psalms of Israel.
Pr. Naomi’s Bible Study on the Book of Job will meet on Tuesday at 10am in Bible Study 1 and then will be off until January 6, 2026.
