The (Literary) People of God: Responding to Scripture in Writing
God is revealed by His Word and through His word.  Throughout history, the people of God have always responded to God in the same way.  This intergenerational summer study will meet on Sunday mornings from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. in the Hulme Room to explore the different literary genres of Scripture and the Church and then seek to participate in this faithful writing through weekly writing exercises.  The curriculum will be appropriate for youth in sixth grade and above, so youth, college students, and young adults are encouraged to join us.  (Sunday school also will be offered at 9:45 a.m. for children ages four years old through fifth grade during the summer.)
