On Sundays at 10:15 a.m. from Sept. 11 through Oct. 30, Rev. Jonathan Brown will be leading a class titled "Spoilers: A Look at Revelation and the End of All Things" in Room 203 here at Foundry. The discussions will be steered by the book "Revelation and the End of All Things" by Craig R. Koester. Learn more and register here.

Taught by Rev. Jonathan Brown, Disciple I is a 34-week study (September 2022–May 2023) that provides an overview of the entire Bible. Divided equally between Old and New Testaments, it emphasizes the wholeness of the Bible as a revelation of God. The Disciple I Study Manual guides reading assignments and provides space for notes, thoughts and questions. This class will meet each Wednesday evening from 6:45–8:15 p.m. beginning Sept. 14, 2022 through May 31, 2023 with breaks for holidays.
