9:00 AM // VERITAS WORKSHOP
Discerning and comprehending truth requires effort and at times can be difficult to navigate on your own. Our Veritas Workshop is an on-going group in which all of the participants join together in the diligent and rewarding work of identifying and understanding truth. Topics and studies vary throughout the year and the group is offered for both in-person and online. Participants are free to join at any point.
On the Road With Paul
We will be joining Paul "on the road" for parts of his missionary journeys, especially on his second missionary journey starting in Toras with Luke and separating from Paul in Ephesus. Besides the Bible, our primary written reference book will be In the Steps of Paul by Peter Walker.
9:00 AM // Room 14
Facilitated by David Buchanan & Noel Anderson
9:00 am (3/9 - 5/18) // Out of the cave and hit the road
Have you ever wondered how to more accurately read and interpret the Bible, so that you could feel better prepared to discuss Biblical truths with others? If so, please consider this interactive series, in which we will explore ways to properly read and interpret the Scriptures and to confidently use our knowledge to skillfully present God's truths to people in our everyday lives. In this 8-week intergenerational class, we will view the video series "Never Read a Bible Verse" and "Tactics" from Stand to Reason (str.org). Each session will feature a brief video, followed by lively discussion, and ideas for applying the principles to our Cave and Road times. All interested youth and adults are invites. (Spoiler alert! Adults; many of the Youth have been studying these ideas for years. Come and be inspired and challenged by Salem's terrific young people).
9:00 AM // Room 16
Facilitated by Will Porter
9:00 AM (4/27 - 6/1) // Practicing the way (scripture)
The Scripture Practice - Practicing the Way
The library we call the Bible can connect us to God and change who we are, but distraction, hurry, and confusion can hinder our experience with these ancient texts. Rediscover how to engage Scripture as an apprentice to Jesus. This practice will be centered around reading, meditating, studying and memorizing Scripture both individually and as a community.
