18th Annual Lenten Soup for the Soul Luncheon Series.

Theological Center in Naples

Colleagues

The Theological Center in Naples would like to invite you to participate in the 18^thAnnual Lenten Soup for the Soul Luncheon Series. These community wide gatherings continue to be an inspiring time of fellowship for congregants of the greater Naples area, during which we have the opportunity to break bread and pray together, share ideas with members of other congregations, and hear inspiring messages from area pastors.

This year we are attempting to allow more lead time, so churches can mark these dates on their church calendars for the upcoming season.

The 2016 Passion Season for many churches begins on Ash Wednesday February 10,

culminating in the Easter Celebration on Sunday, March 27^th, 2016.

Lenten Soup for the Soul will again assemble for a midday bowl of Soup and a message for the Soul on the six intervening Wednesdays-

February 17^th

February 24^th

March 2^nd

March 9^th

March 16^th(Collier Co Spring Break-No School)

March 23^rd

We would like for churches who have the capacity to host a luncheon (our attendance has been running @ 70-90) to be able to schedule a date that fits into your calendar. Those churches who wish to participate but do not have dining room facilities may wish to partner with host churches in providing a pot of soup or a platter of cookies.

If you would like to reserve one of these dates, please contact Bunny Sewell, bunnysam@bestselfusa.com or call 591-4565 for more information. Once the dates are confirmed, we will be able to announce the speakers, and send more details.

We thank those churches and speakers who have participated in the past, and covet your prayers as we look forward to another season of blessings!

In His Service

Rev Sam Sewell, President

Biblical Scholarship Course ~ Open to the Public - Mooring Presbyterian

Do you miss Adult Sunday School?

JOIN US – beginning Sunday October 4th, 2015

For an ONGOING, FREE ADULT EDUCATIONAL
Biblical Scholarship Course ~ Open to the Public

Moorings Adult Christian Education Committee, in conjunction with the Theological Center in Naples, is pleased to announce that Sam and Bunny Sewell have again volunteered to lead a Sunday Morning Biblical Exploration Class. Here is your opportunity to grab a cup of coffee after the 10AM service, then join Sam and Bunny in the Strozier Library from 11:15 to Noon, to discover how our Bible was written, how scholars reconcile apparent inconsistencies, to strengthen your faith by learning how the Bible applies to us today, and still have time to meet your friends for brunch afterward!

Biblical Scholarship is not the same thing as Bible Study. This Biblical Scholarship Program aims to provide a curriculum similar to that which is taught to clergy at accredited seminaries. This unique adult education opportunity was attended last season by Moorings regulars as well as several others from our community at large. It will include an optional Q/A period after the class, for those who are interested. The Sewell’s have been teaching Biblical Scholarship in Naples for more than two decades. There is no tuition for this class, however free will offerings are appreciated.

The primary resource for this extensive curriculum is the twelve volume Interpreter’s Bible. Obviously, participants will not be required to provide their own text books. Just show up with your own Bible, a note pad, pen or pencil, and highlighters. Sam and Bunny own the digital software of the Interpreter’s Bible, as well as the twelve volume set. The Interpreter’s Bible is also available in the Moorings Presbyterian Church Library. The contributors to the study materials are leading Biblical scholars who bring a wealth of fresh perspectives to Biblical interpretation. The contributors are also theologically diverse, reflecting a wide range of Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish backgrounds. Join us each Sunday to grow in your faith & knowledge of God’s Word.
