Sunday School/Bible Study

will resume Sunday, September 30, at 8:30 a.m. - 9:20 a.m. We

will begin the year with a study of 1 John. Anyone who is inter-

ested in growing in your knowledge and understanding of this

book from the New Testament is welcome to join us! If you

know you are coming, please let me know. If not, you are still WELCOME! I will have materi-

als for the study available that day. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

--Brigitte Dade (facilitator) 330-331-2259 or [email protected]

Beginning September 30th, join us at 11 am

on Sunday mornings in the Library as we Dig

Deeper into the Word. Using that morning's

worship service as a starting point, we will

discuss how we take our faith out of the sanc-

tuary and into our daily lives. How does the

scripture shape us? How do the hymns inspire and move us? What does

the sermon call us to do and be? Rev. Laura will facilitate this class.

MMA (Medina Ministerial Association) hosts Muslim Talk

Masroor and Simee Malik will speak in the Fellowship Hall of the Medina Presbyter-

ian Church on Monday, September 10 at 7:00 PM. The talk is free and open to the

public.

The two will speak on the theology and history of the Muslim faith, and on their own experiences as Muslims

in American Society. Following their talk, members of the audience will be invited to ask questions and ex-

plore areas of common concern between the two faiths.

“According to the apostle Paul, those of us who are followers of Jesus have been given a ministry of reconcili-

ation,” commented Henry Pearce, pastor of the Presbyterian church. “And in the America of our time, building

bridges of reconciliation and understanding between Christians and Muslims is one of our most pressing

tasks.”
