Genesis and Revelation: Stories of Creation and Re-Creation – In many respects, the books that begin and end our scriptures seem very different. Yet, they share an unexpectedly similar purpose, as each book can be read as written to a community of faith that was living through trials and hardships, seeking to understand God’s direction for its future. As such, these books share stories whose themes include creation as well as re-creation. In this year’s study, we will take a fresh look at these two books, seeking to understand their application to the challenges and hardships faced by the faith communities of our time.
As the name implies, Generation Go caters largely to parents “on the go,” however all are welcome to attend class. Our class is offered hybrid style so you can attend in-person or via zoom. We typically choose online studies with a 10 – 20-minute video message followed by class discussion of the topic presented. Studies do not require any advanced prep (although supplemental reading is available), so drop in, visitors are always welcome!
The Explorer Class is so-named because we explore the classics of Christian thought, theology, literature and spirituality. Led by Bert Diemer, the class has short reading assignments each week that are the basis for Sunday discussion. Our original focus was to examine those who influenced John Wesley and his thought, but we are open to the suggestions of our class members regarding study material, and several of this year’s topics have branched away from Wesley’s influencers. Contact Bert Diemer for more on past and future studies.
We are a group of young adults that meet weekly for faith studies and fellowship. Our focus is to strengthen our faith foundation and relationships as we navigate life with growing families. Members of the group take turns facilitating lessons, planning social events, and providing outreach opportunities. This group organizes one of Aldersgate’s largest outreach ministries, Christmas Joy! Christmas Joy is an Aldersgate ministry where church members donate holiday gifts and needed items to those in need in the Wilmington area through various organizations.
We meet Tuesdays on Zoom 9:45 – 10:45 a.m. to discuss books of interest, which are chosen by vote. After we finish one, we meet in person at the church, then start the next book, covering about 8 titles per year. We also do service projects (snack drives, clothing drives, sending boxes to our college students), and serve when called on in other ways at the church. New members are always welcome. For more info, contact Betsy Diemer.
Details coming soon.
