Adult Faith Formation
Inspired – Wrestling with Scripture Until We’re Blessed
Overview & Purpose
Our hopes for this class are to dig deeper into our relationship with the Bible and to renew our sense of connection to this ancient yet living Word of God. We want to be open to the questions and struggles that people have with the Bible and their faith. We’ll do this by reading and engaging together with Rachel Held Evans book Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again.
Class begins on September 13 and will meet in the sanctuary.
Books will be available in the church office for a suggested donation of $10.

There are parts of the Bible that inspire, parts that perplex, and parts that leave you with an open wound. I’m still wrestling, and like Jacob, I will wrestle until I am blessed. God hasn’t let go of me yet.

What is Faith Formation?
Faith Formation at Portland Mennonite Church strives to form a bridge between our Christian faith and everyday lives. Our programs are intended to invite people of all ages to grow in faith. At PMC we are striving to be an Anabaptist community, together, with our children, by the grace of God, that is shaped by the life of Christ, that acts with the compassion of Christ, and worships in the name of Christ.
