The Wired Word

We started a new Sunday morning discussion group at church this fall.  We meet between the 9 am and 11 am services so people from both can attend. So far it has been a very interesting class.  "The Wired Word" is a national, non-denominational program that sends an email each week to the group leader. He then forwards the information to all of the class members. Each week we look at a current event and then look at how our faith impacts our reaction to that situation. There are always suggested Bible verses and a series of questions to open up discussion.  This morning we departed a bit from the current events theme to discuss our understanding of 'grace' vs 'good works'. It is the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation started by Martin Luther and his 95 Theses.  Since I was raised Lutheran this was familiar territory to me.  What I'm really enjoying about this class is that it is attracting a variety of ages from young couples to old timers like me. It was started with the intention of giving young parents an interesting program while their children are in Sunday school but more than half the people who come regularly are over 50. The age spread makes for some interesting differences in perspective and everyone seems to enjoy the discussions.  I recommend "The Wired Word".
