First United Methodist Church - Lancaster Pa

Engaging, Inspirational, Multigenerational

Academy

Academy is led by Rev. William Cherry and meets Monday evenings from 7:30 - 9:00 PM or Wednesday mornings from 9:30 - 11:00am. 

Monday October 13  to Wednesday November 12 are the dates for Bill Cherry’s fall Academy and the subject is  “The Bible’s Wisdom Literature.”  The third section of the Hebrew Bible is know simply as “the Writings” and it includes Jewish poetry like the Psalms, but also books of wisdom and philosophy like Job, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.  Unlike the Law and the Prophets, these books deal with matters of everyday understanding and behavior.  It’s these, along with a couple others, that the fall term of the Academy will examine.

 

    No advance reservation is needed, and everyone - from within First Church or beyond - is welcome!
