Church School for All Ages
Sunday Adult Forum 9:00 — 10:15 AM
We have concluded our reading and discussion of “How We Learn to be Brave” by Bishop Budde. Beginning July 1, the group will be on “vacation” until the first Sunday after Labor Day, September 7, 9:00 AM. We have chosen a newly released book by Dan McClellan, Ph.D. (4/25) titled:
The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture’s Most Controversial Issues.
The Bible is the world’s most influential book, but do we really know what it says? Every day across social media and in homes, businesses, and public spaces, people try to cut debate short by claiming that “the Bible says so!” However, they commonly disagree about what it actually does and doesn’t say, particularly when it comes to socially significant issues. For instance, does the Bible say we should be on the lookout for an antichrist associated with the number 666? Does it say women shouldn’t wear revealing clothing? Does it say it’s okay to hit your kids?
Dan McClellan is an award-winning public scholar of the Bible. He has over one million followers on social media, and tens of thousands more tune in to his online classes and his Data Over Dogma Podcast. Dan received his PhD from the University of Exeter. He worked previously as a scripture translation supervisor for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is currently an honorary fellow at Birmingham University’s Cadbury Centre for the Public Understanding of Religion.

The Season of Lent 2026
Lent is a sacred season in which we are drawn through acts of penance and purification more deeply into the heart of Christ.
Lent (Latin: Quadragesima, ‘Fortieth’) is the solemn Christian religious observance in the liturgical year in preparation for Easter. It echoes the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert and enduring temptation by Satan, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, before beginning his public ministry
Lent is a new opportunity to examine our relationship with God and each other and to follow the example of Jesus, who remained true to the end. If we are ever to change our behavior, we must first allow for God to change our hearts. Lent is a season of repentance, prayer and fasting. During this solemn and expectant time, we remember the sacrifice Jesus made in giving his life for all humanity.
In many ways, Lent is about dying: dying to self as you embrace the Cross of Christ; dying to the world as you live as a citizen of heaven; dying to material wants and sensual pleasures that you may be raised by God to new heights; dying to fleeting things so that you may take hold of eternal life. And all along, it is God who sustains you, gives you strength and directs your path. Lent, then, is a journey into the wondrous and beautiful heart of God. So that we may experience this Lenten Season in the best of ways, our goal for the 2026 Season of Lent is to present material that challenges us to grow in our faith and strengthen our relationship with Jesus and those around us.
