Older adults join us for a week of rest and renewal in a mature Christian community (Lutherhostel guests are typically 60+ years young!). Enjoy programming at a more leisurely pace and learn from local speakers who share their expertise in art, nature, music, history, and health. Deans will lead Bible study Monday through Friday mornings.
August 23 - 29, 2008 Lutherhostel
with Rev. Ted
Schroeder & Cliff Pedersen
Note: this week is from Saturday through Friday. Checkout is at 10:00 Friday, August 29, 2008.
Prophecy, Promise and Power – An Introduction to the Book of Revelation.
We will take a new look at this most remarkable book, find its roots in the Old Testament, and look at some of the reasons the book has caused so much controversy. We will seek to discover what the book meant to the first century Christians and what it can mean for us today. This session is led by Pastor Schroeder.
Press on to Maturity in Christ
Cliff will lead a study of selected texts from Hebrews. Hebrews is a study for people who want to grow in their knowledge of Christ with the necessary corollaries and consequences for Christian faith and life. Growth is the only evidence of life. If you are the type of person who desires spiritual maturity instead of arrested development, then a careful reading and study of Hebrews is for you.
