Our first book study this year!

       The Adult Study Group at Dayton First Congregational Church-UCC is beginning to read and share conversation about The Jesus Creed:  Loving God, Loving Others by Scot McKnight.  As a professor at North Park University in Chicago, McKnight experienced his students as "hungry for spiritual formation materials..."  Based on the question "What is the greatest commandment?" asked of Jesus by one who knew Jewish Law, McKnight describes the relevance of the answer Jesus gave by reciting the Shema, the Jewish creed that instructs Israel to love God with heart, mind, soul, and strength, AND by adding to that "love your neighbor as yourself."  McKnight 's hope is that readers will themselves be transformed by new understandings of what it means to love God and to love others.

The Adult Study Group meets on Sunday mornings at 9:30 at the church.  We're located at 214 S. 3rd Street in Dayton.  If you're unable to participate in those conversations, feel free to add thoughts here!  If you have questions, please email Pastor Marj.  To learn more about our congregational life, please visit our website.
