New Summer Discipleship Opportunities at Christ Church:
Pastor’s Study “The Chosen,” Sundays 5-7pm, starts June 6th in the Sanctuary.The Chosen is a thought-provoking eight-week video dramatization of the remarkable ministry of Jesus and those who were called to “come and see.” Interweaving scripture with original creative dialogue, each of the eight episodes we will view from Season One will give us a possible backstory that is consistent with the witness and character of Jesus. Episodes are roughly 45-60 minutes and will be followed by a teaching and discussion led by Pastor Temple. Child care and programs for both children and youth will be offered at the same time, so make it a family affair and join us. No registration is required and you can check out the video trailer for the film series at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1-FoFj8Jbo.
What is your group studying next this summer? TheNT Wright Online Course- “Simply Jesus” begins the week of Sunday June 6th at Christ Church, in-person and online, at various times during the week. Your group can do this free church-wide resource!NT Wright is a renowned Bible scholar, church historian, prolific writer and Bishop of Durham in the Church of England. This overview of the person of Jesus and the historical settings in which he taught and lived will add meaning to the gospels for participants as they discuss within their groups these insights and applications for everyday life. The flow of a typical weekly meeting (online or in person) includes An opening discussion question The main scripture of the session read on video by NT Wright or by a group member A teaching session video by NT Wright (15-20 minutes) A discussion of session questions for the remainder of the meeting time.
No prior videos or readings are required to participate in the small group meetings. However, the book “Simply Jesus” published in 2018, complements and supplements the videos shown during the meetings and is helpful for those who wish “to go deeper.” A description of this course is available in this brief 2 minute video- https://vimeo.com/157453415. Each participant will have a free account and life-time access to the videos and discussion questions on the udemy.com online learning platform for all 15 sessions. For the small group to actually meet online, another meeting platform such as zoom or others the group leader is familiar with will be needed. On zoom, the “share screen” feature can make the video available to the small group during the online meeting call. Please email me or call me at 281-690-4776 by this weekend or next if you are willing to be a Simply Jesus leader with your Small Group, Home Group, Sunday School Class, Bible Study group or with a newly formed Small Group this summer.
