Staying Connected through Bible Study
As the season of Summer begins to wrap up and our dear friends start to head home, let's make sure we Stay Connected through Bible Study!
Have you ever wondered about the differences between the gospels or felt curious about diving deeper into the scriptures? Now is the perfect opportunity to explore these questions in a welcoming and supportive community.
We are thrilled to invite you to join our upcoming Bible study, led by Tracy Rubin, a Harvard Divinity School graduate from the Class of 2012. Tracy has been leading Bible studies for over a decade at her parish in Needham, MA, and this summer, she guided our lectionary study at St. Mary’s. Her wealth of experience and passion for scripture promises an enriching and insightful journey through the Bible.
Starting on Wednesday, September 18th, we will begin our study of the Gospel of Luke—a beautifully written narrative that offers a unique perspective on Jesus. Luke’s gospel is particularly inclusive, speaking to people of all backgrounds, regardless of social standing, gender, or religious affiliation. Many of the stories we cherish about Jesus can only be found in this gospel, making it an essential book for those eager to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith.
Whether you're joining us in person or from the comfort of your home via Zoom, you’ll be part of a nationwide community of learners, all journeying together through this powerful text. Classes are discussion-based, allowing everyone to share their insights and learn from one another.
We offer two convenient times to fit your schedule:
10-11:30 AM or 7-8:30 PM.
If you’re new to Zoom, don’t worry—tutorials are available to help you get started.
This Bible study is more than just a class; it’s an opportunity to build deeper relationships with God and with each other. As we explore the Gospel of Luke together, we’ll strengthen our faith, grow in our understanding, and stay connected as a community, no matter where we are.
If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out to Tracy Rubin at tgrubin3@gmail.com or 781-856-2125.
To sign up, please contact Ali at office@ccneedham.org
or call 781-444-1469.
Let’s stay connected and continue our spiritual journey together!
A Prayer for our Bible Study
Loving and Gracious God,
We come before You with hearts open and eager to grow in our understanding of Your word. As we embark on this journey through the Gospel of Luke, we ask for Your Holy Spirit to guide us, enlighten us, and draw us closer to You and to one another.
May this study be a time of deep reflection, where we encounter the teachings of Jesus in new and transformative ways. Open our minds to the wisdom of the scriptures, and may the stories we read resonate within us, inspiring us to live out Your love and compassion in our daily lives.
Bless Tracy, our teacher, with clarity, wisdom, and patience as she leads us through this study. May her words and insights encourage us to ask questions, share our thoughts, and grow together in faith.
We pray for each person who joins this class, whether in person or from afar, that they may find in this community a place of belonging and support. Help us to strengthen the bonds of fellowship, knowing that even as we are scattered across different places, we are united in You.
Lord, may this time spent in Your word deepen our relationship with You, shape our hearts in the likeness of Christ, and fill us with a renewed sense of purpose and peace. As we study, let our hearts be open to Your voice, guiding us in all truth and love.
Through Christ our Lord, we pray.
Amen.
Blessings,
Mo. Allison+
