Winter Wednesdays at OBC, January 21 - February 8

We're excited to welcome you back to Wednesday nights this January! Join us for meaningful small group conversations designed to help you grow in faith and community. We'd love to share a meal with you at dinner, but if your schedule doesn't allow it, you're always welcome to join us when the conversations begin at 6:15 PM. Choose the path that speaks to you:

Option 1: Healthy Habits for the New Year - Join Elizabeth Weikle, Winthrop Professor of Food and Nutrition, and Jaci Williams, President of South Carolina Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, for a 4-week series on the ways food and movement strengthen and sustain our bodies and souls.

Option 2: Bible Study - Join Jeff Hayes for a 4-week exploring four of the most challenging passages of Scripture: the ambiguous story about the sons of God and the Nephilim in Genesis 6:1-4, Ezekiel’s astounding vision in chapter 1, Paul’s deep questions about God “hardening hearts” in Romans 9:14-24, and the mysterious “spirits in prison” of 1 Peter 3:18-20. Each week we will work verse by verse to unpack the context, theology, and enduring questions that have puzzled readers for centuries.

Option 3: Book Study - Join Leigh Reynolds for a 4-week conversation on John Pavlovitz’s book If God is Love, Don’t Be a Jerk. In his book, Pavlovitz examines the bedrock ideas of our religion: the existence of hell, the utility of prayer, the way we treat people different from ourselves, the value of anger, and other doctrines to help all of us take a good, honest look at how the beliefs we hold can shape our relationships with God and our fellow humans—and to make sure that love has the last, loudest word. *Reading Pavlovitz’s book is not required but is recommended. **Pavlovitz does not hide his political or social views as they intersect with his understanding of the Christian faith.
