Thursdays in Lent, March 21 10AM + 6PM "The Difficult Words of Jesus" Study
"Lent is a great time to do a deep dive and broaden our understanding of scripture.
Even as a preacher there are times that I wonder, “What in the heck is Jesus getting at?” Well, I’m hoping you’ll join me for a six-week study that answers some of those questions!
We will meet on Thursdays at 10:00 am or 6:00 pm (note: the same material will be covered in each session, so you could come to either session). We will study Amy Jill-Levine’s book, Difficult Words of Jesus, A Beginner’s Guide to His Most Difficult Teachings.
We have purchased 15 copies of the book and are selling them for $13.50 to cover costs. The book is also available on Amazon and in various eBook and audio versions." -Rev. Scott

11:11AM Small Group "Questions Jesus Asked"
Kick off your new year by joining the topical Bible study with a fun group of FCC members. We ask questions, laugh, and explore how scriptures apply to our daily lives. Join us in this new study at 11:11 am in a classroom in the back hall of the educational building.
Jesus was fond of asking questions, many of which cut right to the heart of what it means to be human. Why are you terrified? What do you live for? Who do you say that I am? In Questions Jesus Asked, author Magrey deVega explores six of the most provocative questions Jesus posed to others and guides us in answering them for ourselves.
Asking these questions takes courage. Not only do they reveal what Jesus really cares about, they open a window into our hearts. We all have questions for God, but growth happens when we turn things around and ask what Jesus wants to know about us. When we dare to raise them, these questions bring us a fuller appreciation for the wisdom, power, and presence of God in our lives. Are you willing to step out in faith? Are you ready to answer the questions Jesus asked?
The book may be purchased on Amazon, Cokebsury and Chrisitanbooks.com for about $14. Whether or not you read, just come and fellowship!

People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks
In 1996, Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, is offered the job of a lifetime: analysis and conservation of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, a priceless, beautifully illustrated edition of the special book containing the story of the biblical Exodus that must be retold at the beginning of the Seder dinner on Passover. When Hanna discovers a series of tiny artifacts in its ancient binding -- an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair -- she begins to unlock the book’s mysteries. The reader is ushered into an exquisitely detailed and atmospheric past, tracing the book’s journey from its creation somewhere in northern Spain around 1350 through centuries of exile and war to its permanent home in the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo. Inspired by a true story, People of the Book is a novel of sweeping historical grandeur and intimate emotional intensity, an ambitious, electrifying work.
