Study Groups

Postponed

Divine Conspiracy Course and Surprise the World study both postponed to the Fall. Due to people's busy schedules and good weather approaching, John Paul has decided to postpone both new study sessions planned for the spring and summer for Stone and Vineyard churches to the fall. The DVD Dallas Willard Study (Divine Conspiracy) will take place on Monday nights beginning in mid-September. The Michael Frost book study (Surprise the World) will begin on Tuesday afternoons, also in mid-September.

Apologies to anyone who had been planning to attend these groups but most people who indicated interest also preferred the autumn time frame.

On Mondays

Living Like Jesus: Monday Evening Discipleship Series

at Saint John Vineyard (classroom), 204 Carmarthen St., Monday evenings 7:30-8:30 pm.

Jesus lived with certain spiritual practices that enabled him to live in a”God bathed world”, seeing and hearing the Father in all things, even the silence. Each Monday evening we will look at a different practice and talk about how we might implement it so that we also have a greater experience of the presence, peace and power of God in our own lives. You are welcome to attend every evening or come only on the evenings that are most interesting for you.

We are currently referring to the book Celebration of Discipline by Richard J. Foster, and group members are welcome to purchase this on their own, it is not necessary to have the boo$k for you to join this group).

ON TuesDAYS

See Through the Scriptures

at Saint John Vineyard Church, 204 Carmarthen St., Tuesdays, 12:15–1:00 pm

Each week, Jonathan Springthorpe will host this Bible Study. Bring a bagged lunch or snack. Coffee will be provided. This is a great way to spend your lunch hour!

ON ThursDAYS

Thursday noon-hour Bible Study

at Stone Church, Thursdays, 12:15-1:00 pm

A Visit With the Good Doctor
We just completed a study of the Acts of The Apostles. Of course the author, Luke, also wrote a gospel, which was part one of his work. The gospel is the great medicine for our souls, containing the good news of Jesus Christ, who brings life and salvation and hope to all the world. Luke was himself a physician (Colossians 4:14) and had special insight into the Gentile (non-Jewish) world, so that he could communicate clearly the life of the Jewish Messiah Jesus to those who were not raised as Jews. We are entitling our study “A Visit With the Good Doctor”, instead of “An Hour With the Good Doctor” as we will really try to keep the study to 45 minutes in length (this time)!

Bring a bag lunch (and a friend) and plan to stay for for a while afterwards. Coffee and tea are provided. All are welcome.
