Month: March 2017

A Lectionary based study is held every Tuesday at 11:30. We meet at Chap’s Taproom (2509 W Main Street, West Norriton PA). People attending may order their own lunch and share in a conversation on the scriptures.

Sunday Faith Formation Classes at Ascension United Church of Christ begins at nine-thirty.

Faith Formation for Adults: Grownups need a place where they can discuss spiritual matters as much as anyone else. Adults gather every week before morning worship to share and learn from one another. The voices you will hear around Ascension’s table are intelligent and heart-felt. This has become a place where new friendships are formed and old truths are re-affirmed. Taught by Liz Brunton.

Morning prayer is held every Wednesday Morning at 7 am in the Chapel.

Wednesdays in Lent ( Feb 26, March 5, 12,19,26 and April 2, 2020) at 7:30 pm

“Plenty Good Room”

This unique Bible study combines an in-depth look at Scripture, American history, and the music and lyrics of six African American spirituals.

The six-session study provides biblical, social, and historical analyses of the spirituals:

• “Ev’ry Time I Feel the Spirit”
• “This Lonesome Valley”
• “Bow Down on Your Knees”
• “Plenty Good Room”
• “Ain’t Dat Good News”
• “Were You There?”

Plenty Good Room is a powerful devotional and spiritual experience through God’s Word and music.
