Sunday School · Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany
Veni, Veni, Emmanuel
Coming soon to Old Goshenhoppen Sunday School.
You hear the Christmas story every year, but do you really know it as well as you think? Join us this Advent and Christmas season as we look at the historical context, the cultural background, and the many traditional conceptions (and misconceptions) about the Coming of Emmanuel.
Adult Sunday School, Sundays at 9:00 AM, December 6 through January 10. All are welcome.
Sessions:
• December 6 — O Wisdom. How did God set the historical and cultural stage for the arrival of his Son? Why did Jesus have to come when he did?
• December 13 — O Adonai. What was the purpose of John the Baptist and what can we know about the angels that heralded the coming of our Lord?
• December 20 — O Root of Jesse. Why does Jesus have two different genealogies? What should we believe about the Virgin Mary? Who was Joseph?
• December 27 — O Dayspring. Can we identify the Star of Bethlehem using astronomy? Can it tell us the exact year and date of the Nativity?
• January 3 — O Key of David. What did and did not actually happen that special day in royal David’s city? Where exactly was Jesus born and does it mean?
• January 10 — O King of Nations. How did the world react to the birth of Christ? Who was Herod? Were there three Wise Men? Were they kings?
Sunday School is every Lord’s Day at 9:00 AM, before morning worship at 10:00 AM.
