Dr. Jenn Pick\nRegistration Requested\nA garden. A flood. A tower. Long lists of names. Genesis opens with eleven chapters that happen before anything we would call history\, and they are stranger than most of us were taught. \nNobody eats an apple. Nobody loses a rib. There are two creation accounts\, and they do not agree with each other\, and the flood gets told twice by two different hands. None of that is a problem to fix. It is a clue about who was writing\, when\, and what they needed these stories to do. \nWe will read slowly and out loud. We will also ask what later readers have laid on top of these chapters\, because those readings still shape who gets blamed\, who gets welcomed\, and who gets to lead. \nGeared toward Eleven:Eleven folks who are ready for deep conversation. If you have never cracked open a Bible in your life\, you are not behind. Bring your questions. \nNo homework. Bring a Bible\, and if you do not have one\, we will put one in your hands. \nContacts: Kagan & Jenn \n  \nRegister\n\n\n \n \n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Δ\n \n \n\n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Phone*Email*\n \n Do you need a Bible?*\n \n \n Yes\n \n \n \n No\n CAPTCHA\n Submit URL:https://fumcfw.org/event/beginnings26/2026-10-06/ LOCATION:Library 147 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fumcfw.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/In-the-Beginnings-1111-Bible-Study_EV.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261007T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261007T110000 DTSTAMP:20260824T153003Z CREATED:20260818T135525Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260824T153003Z UID:10036965-1791365400-1791370800@fumcfw.org SUMMARY:Sabbath Study DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays | September 9 – October 14\, 2026\n9:30 – 11:00 am\nRoom 350\nLed by Rev. Beth Kellner\nRegistration Requested\nSabbath. Instituted by God\, commanded by God\, celebrated by Jesus. Sabbath has been a part of our faith from the beginning.

Set during the Babylonian exile but written for a people facing oppression centuries later\, Daniel speaks powerfully to anyone wondering how to live with integrity in a changing world. \nTogether we’ll explore the familiar stories of the fiery furnace and the lions’ den\, as well as Daniel’s mysterious visions and dreams. Along the way\, we’ll discover how this remarkable book encourages us to remember who we are\, even when culture\, politics\, fear\, or uncertainty try to rename us. \nWhether you’ve studied Daniel before or are opening it for the first time\, come ready for thoughtful conversation\, historical insight\, and practical reflection on what it means to live faithfully today. No “homework.” The only thing you need to bring is a Bible. Registration is requested. \nWednesdays at 6:00 pm beginning September 9.

Join us as we explore the fascinating first centuries of the Jesus movement and discover how a small group of followers grew into a global faith. Together we’ll examine the questions and controversies that shaped the early church\, the Jewish roots that continue to ground our worship\, the often-overlooked voices of women in the movement\, and the wide variety of texts that circulated among early communities. We’ll also trace the centuries-long process by which the New Testament we know today came to be. Come with your curiosity\, your questions\, and your own faith story.

Dr. Jenn Pick\nThe second half of Mark’s Gospel has a rhythm all its own. The road turns toward Jerusalem\, the questions grow sharper\, and following Jesus becomes more complicated\, courageous\, and costly. \nBeginning September 10\, we will explore Mark 9–16 together\, reading closely\, asking honest questions\, and paying attention to the details that make this Gospel both unsettling and alive. We will walk with disciples who do not always understand\, encounter people who see what others miss\, and follow the story toward the cross\, the empty tomb\, and an ending that still asks something of its readers. \nYou do not need to have attended our study of chapters 1–8. These chapters form a distinct movement within Mark\, and learners of every experience level are warmly welcomed. \nThere is no homework and no preparation required. Simply bring your Bible\, your questions\, and your willingness to learn alongside others. \nRegistration is requested so that we can prepare the room and welcome you well. \nJoin Zoom\n  \nRegister\n\n \n \n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Δ\n \n \n\n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone*Will you need childcare?*\n \n \n Yes\n \n \n \n No\n Please list the names and ages of all children*How will you attend?*\n \n \n In Person\n \n \n \n Zoom\n CAPTCHA\n Submit URL:https://fumcfw.org/event/mark26/2026-10-08/ LOCATION:Room 336 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fumcfw.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Thursday-Bible-Study-Mark26_EV.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
