“We believe” — Re-claiming the Nicene Creed for Today

What would you say if someone asked you, “So, what do you believe as a Christian?” A refreshed understanding of what Christians believe is vital as we anticipatea new pastor, as we seek to share the gospel with the unchurched in our community, and as we face the headwinds of growing secularity.

Beginning September 28 and continuing through October 19, the fall Adult Forums will celebrate the seventeen - hundredth anniversary of the first Christian creed, the Nicene Creed, by studying and discussing what it means. To understand how and why this creed originated is to gain a perspective on issues that were vital to Christians in the church’s early centuries. One critical question was the person and workof Jesus Christ. Who was Jesus for fourth century Christians? What did he mean for their life together? What do you believe? What do we believe?

In a day and age when growing numbers seem disenchanted with the institution of the church and local congregations struggle to exist, through a study of the Nicene Creed we gain confidence
that the church of Christ will “keep on rising from the dead.” (ELW 729)

Join us as we sing along with Music Director Tim Spelbring to our favorite hymns while enjoying a beverage or two and snacks. Bring a friend!

The St. Mark Book Club welcomes all readers of all ages. We meet at 1:00 PM in the Library at St. Mark on the 4th Monday each month, with the exception of December. We read a variety of books and authors and have lively discussions each month.
