| September | 20 | Potluck and Intro to the Year |
| Session 1 | The True, the Good, the Beautiful: Art as Windows | |
| Leaders: Mrs. Renee Garrett, Dr. Robert Sherman, Ms. Andrea Hand | ||
| September | 27 | Art is always the creative expression of the human spirit. It can reflect |
| October | 4 | our highest virtue, it can show us our most base nature. It also displays |
| 11 | for all to see the worldview of the artist. What might constitute Christian | |
| art? You may be surprised... | ||
| Session 2 | The Trinity ~ Why it Matters | |
| Leader: Dr. Robert Sherman | ||
| October | 18 | God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, the Three in One. |

| Leaders: Dr. James Haddix, Dr. Robert Sherman | ||
| January | 10 | An often neglected letter in the New Testament, Hebrews holds much |
| 17 | treasure for our spiritual purses. Through scriptural cross-references, | |
| 24 | allusions, and typology, it is deeply entwined with the whole biblical | |
| 31 | story. It evocatively shows how seeds planted in the Old Testament | |
| February | 7 | come to fruition in the New, even as it looks to the future in Christ, |
| 14 | "the pioneer and perfector of our faith." | |
| 21 | Mardi Gras ~ Fat Tuesday Party! | |
| Session 5 | Can Suffering Ever Make Sense? | |
| Leaders: Dr. James Haddix, Dr Robert Sherman, Mrs. Renee Garrett | ||
| February | 28 | Is it true "...all things work together for good for those who love God, |
| March | 6 | who are called according to his purposes," as St. Paul asserts? We will |
| 13 | explore the diverse biblical understandings of suffering (in Proverbs, Job, | |
| 20 | Ecclesiastes and other parts of the Old Testament), including the assertion | |
| 27 | that rebellion against God is the source of our suffering. We will also | |
