Sundays
Adult Bible Study: The Psalms with John Calvin
Sundays, 9:15 am – 10:15 am
Conference Room in Keller House
On February 16, our Sunday morning Bible Study will begin studying the Psalms, one of the most treasured books in the whole Bible. During this three-week class, we will also study the sixteenth century reformer, John Calvin, and his own interpretation of the Psalms. A mixture of Bible study and Church history, this class will be not only a chance to hear God in Scripture, but also a chance to hear what God has spoken to one of our Christian ancestors. Participants are encouraged to bring a Bible with them to each session. To sign up for the Bible Study's emails, contact the Rev. Thomas Alexander (thomas@trinitylittlerock.org).
Below is the reading schedule:
February 16 – Introduction: Psalm 1 & 2
February 23 – Prayers: Psalm 22, 51, & 130
March 3 – Imprecations and Laments: Psalm 109 & 137
Mondays
Breakfast and Bible Study
Mondays, 7 – 8 a.m.
Community Bakery on Main Street
Join us at our local Community Bakery as we begin the week by sharing breakfast and discussing the Gospel reading for the upcoming Sunday. No prior preparation is involved, but our Monday morning preparations make Sundays even more meaningful. To learn more, contact the Rev. Thomas Alexander [thomas@trinitylittlerock.org].
Wednesdays
Book Club: Marilynne Robinson’s Reading Genesis with Chris Keller
Wednesdays at 6:30 pm, beginning March 12
Baker Parlor in Keller House
For the season of Lent, Trinity Cathedral’s Book Club will welcome as guest facilitator the Rev. Dr. Christoph Keller, III as we take up our next book, Reading Genesis by Marilynne Robinson. Reading Genesis is a penetrating look into scriptures that are read literally by some, and skeptically by others, by a brilliant writer who is neither credulous nor doubtful––rather informed, engaged, and faithful. We will have fun in the class and, for Lent, this will be time well spent. The book is available for order at Wordsworth Books for $29 (hardback), with a 10% discount available for Trinity Cathedral’s Book Club. To sign up, please email the Rev. Thomas Alexander at thomas@trinitylittlerock.org.
