First Congregational Church of Swanzey679 Old Homestead Hwy, Rt 32 - SwanzeyEvents 42.868716 -72.283196 The Rev D. Stinson will teach a Bible study entitled The Sufficiency of Christ. The class will read and discuss Paul’s Letter to the Colossians. All sessions will meet in the Friendship Hall of Swanzey’s First Congregational Church at 10:30m, on five Thursdays (excluding Thanksgiving Day), starting October 30th through December 5th. Each session will last one hour. A copy of the syllabus is available in the Narthex and on the church website. Colossians is a brief letter written while Paul was a prisoner in Rome, probably between the years A.D. 60-62, so it is a very early account of Christian belief and practice. The author possessed a very high view of Christ, calling him “the image of the invisible God” (1:15) and saying, in Christ “the fullness of God was pleased to dwell in him in bodily form” (1:19 and 2:9). The apostle also affirmed in this letter that Jesus is the head of the church, (1:18). Hence, the study’s title: The Sufficiency of Christ. The class is open to new and experienced students of the Bible. Speak to Mr. Stinson if you have questions or need more information.
