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. **Pavolitz does not hide his political or social views as they intersect with his understanding of the Christian faith.

Meals at Bethel and Life House

Whether with your family, your Sunday School class, or a group of friends, serving a meal at Bethel or Life House is a great thing to do together. Both of these ministries provide vital services to folks in the Rock Hill community. If you have additional questions, contact Leigh Reynolds (lreynolds@oaklandchurch.com).
