Luther Forum Talks With Screwtape

The Luther Forum, an adult discussion class which meets each Sunday morning at 8:45am in the campus center, will start back on January 12, 2025.  The focus will be The Screwtape Letters, by C. S. Lewis.  The class will meet each week, both in person and via Zoom. The zoom link and the schedule of readings may be obtained by contacting Bill King at luthercm@gmail.com. 

C. S. Lewis was one of the most popular Christian writers of the 20th Century. Second only to the Narnia series The Screwtape Letters continues to be one of Lewis' most popular books.  Using the literary device of a series of letters sent from an experienced devil, Screwtape, to an apprentice demon, Wormword, Lewis explores the challenges of Christian faith and discipleship.  Beginning with a young man's conversion, Lewis reflects on the obstacles which disciples face in following the way of Jesus.  

Chapters are short and the writing is engaging.  This is a study for anyone who struggles to follow Jesus in the ordinary places of life.  Copies of the book are readily available online or at local bookstores.

Please check the LMLC calendar for the choir rehearsal dates!   If you have any questions or would like to join the fun, please email Amy! 🎶 

 The Thursday morning 8 am Men’s Bible Study meets weekly on Thursdays at 8 am via Zoom. The focus of this men's Bible Study is to study the Gospel reading designated by the Common Lectionary for the upcoming Sunday. Please contact Bill King or Mark Pierson if you have any questions.  

We are currently on break for the summer.  Classes will resume September 12, 2024. Contact Phil Jordan with questions.
