Join the Sojourners Bible study group in studying the following:

• Oct. 11 – Nov. 8   Prayer to Genesis:  A Beginner’s Guide to the Beginning by Amy Jill-Levine
  Genesis: A Beginner’s Guide to the Beginning invites readers into the foundational stories of the Old Testament with clarity, depth, and imagination. Amy-Jill Levine presents Genesis as a living text, one that continues to shape faith, identity, and our understanding of what it means to be human. These familiar stories are often heard in fragments; here, they are explored with care, curiosity, and theological insight.
  
• Nov. 15 – Dec. 20 (No Class on November 22)   Unlikely Advent: Extraordinary People of the Christmas Story
  Using the book An Unlikely Advent: Extraordinary People of the Christmas Story by Rachel Billups, this Advent study explores the lives of four often-overlooked groups in the Nativity story—Elizabeth and Zechariah, Herod, the Magi, and the shepherds. As we journey toward Christmas, we’ll discover the unique lessons each has to teach us about faith, hope, and faithfully following God’s plan.   Book:  $14
