Ezra-Nehemiah Bible Study

Join Bishop Meggan Manlove on Zoom for six sessions of Bible Study April 9-May 21. Our theme verses for our three Regional Gatherings are Ezra 3:10-13, but what about the larger context? Join me as we dive into these less familiar, at least to me, books of the bible. We will explore the historical context of the books, their literary form, and what the Lutheran Christian lens brings to the texts. We will read some passages devotionally. 6:30pm Pacific/7:30pm Mountain. Tuesdays, April 9, 16, 30, May 7, 14, and 21.

How do we, as communities of faith, change our thinking on stewardship and generosity to meet the challenges of the moment? In partnership with the Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, the ELCA is offering congregations the opportunity to reexamine their stewardship thinking and imagine ways to act on their findings in their communities.
