The people of God are bound together, informed, nourished and supported by the Word of God. The Word is dynamic, that is, ever living. The Word has lived among God’s children in many ways. · God’s visits to the likes of Abraham and Moses · God’s call to and inspiration of the Prophets · The Word as flesh in Jesus Christ · The Word as indwelling Holy Spirit · The Word conveyed through centuries in the Scriptures · The Word proclaimed by the Church in spoken and acted forms The Word is at the heart of the Christian Faith and it remains vital to God’s people. Among the opportunities to study God’s Word at Lakeside Lutheran Church is a weekly gathering for men. The group meets every Wednesday at 8:00 A.M. for an hour. (On the third Wednesday of each month they share breakfast together before the study. Those who want to help cook come at 7:00; breakfast is served at 7:30; study takes place, as on other Wednesdays, at 8:00.) About the Study: Sessions are led by Pastor Eichner, but all participate. The format is discussion that follows a series of questions about the passage being considered. The passage each week is the reading from one of the four Gospels that will be read at worship on the coming Sunday. The study guide is made available each Wednesday for the following week.

One need not be a member of Lakeside to be a part of this group. Visitors are more than welcome. There are different levels of Bible study experience in the group. Some have been involved in many such studies; others have never done anything of this nature before. Whatever the case, all seem to blend and to complement each other. Since each passage is considered independently, one need not have been at the previous session to be a part of the next. That means you can start any time and come when you can. In addition to the study of the Word, this group is also able to build relationships and trusts with one another. Give it a try! Invite someone else! If you have any questions, call Pastor Eichner (586-6778). |
