Early Risers Bible Study - Making Sense of the Bible
2026-04-15 03:00 - 04:00, 2026-04-22 03:00 - 04:00, 2026-04-29 03:00 - 04:00, 2026-05-06 03:00 - 04:00 (America/Chicago) | St. Andrew Lutheran Church
Simon Peter–an ordinary fisherman who heard an extraordinary call. He left everything to follow his teacher and possessed a passion that would change the world. That’s one way to describe Peter. Here’s another: poor, uneducated, quick-tempered, and full of doubts and fears. Doesn’t even sound like the same man.
And that’s the point of Simon Peter, a new book by Adam Hamilton. Peter was just an ordinary guy who heard and followed God’s extraordinary call. Discover how you, too, have special gifts, talents, and abilities that God can use to make a difference today.
Books will be available for purchase at the Front Desk soon.

A women’s Bible study of faith and fellowship. Each week includes large group lecture, small group discussion and weekly homework assignments. Each small group includes both in person and virtual options. For beginners through advanced! Study materials need to be purchased by each participant. Scholarships are available.
Our Winter/Spring study of The Chosen season 5 begins January 7. The table is set. The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while His disciples anticipate His crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—He turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last. With the accompanying study guide, The Stronghold of the Chosen, we’ll learn that Jesus is our safe place, along with all the reasons we should run to and remain in Him when hard times come.

Pastor's Book Study - The Tears of Things
2026-04-16 04:00 - 05:00, 2026-04-23 04:00 - 05:00, 2026-04-30 04:00 - 05:00 | St. Andrew Lutheran Church
Join us beginning Thursday, March 26, as we read and discuss The Tears of Things: Prophetic Wisdom for an Age of Outrage by Richard Rohr, a man considered to be a modern mystic.
This book is a good introduction into his work and fitting for this time. How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today.
Books are available for purchase from the Front Desk for $15.
