What is it?
A Brown Bag study and discussion of each Sunday’s upcoming preaching scriptures
When is it?
Each Wednesday from noon until 1:15 PM
Where is it?
To attend in person: come to Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 1333 Belt Line Rd., Garland, TX 75040
To attend remotely: Please contact Spencer Dawkins at +1 214 755 3870 for Zoom coordinates. Spencer or Shirley will be signed in by 11:45, in case you have problems joining
What else is good to know?
- Most weeks, we read four lectionary scriptures for each upcoming Sunday
- The Revised Common Lectionary is used by many Christian denominations around the world
- If you invite someone from a denomination that doesn’t use the Revised Common Lectionary, Sneaking Peeks will be a perfectly reasonable three-year Bible study for them
- Weekly scripture is available at: https://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/
Who should come to Sneaking Peeks at Scripture?
- Gloria Dei Lutheran Church hosts in-person attendees, but it’s not especially a Lutheran study
- We have remote attendees on Zoom from as far away as Ukraine
- You can do the readings before we meet, but you aren’t expected to – come anyway!
- You don’t have to come every week. Jesus didn’t take roll at the Sermon on the Mount
Meet your host: Spencer Dawkins
- Certified lay servant in the Horizon Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church
- Not a lifelong Methodist – Spencer was born into Disciples of Christ, and migrated
- Spencer isn’t pushing any particular denomination’s theology
- Spencer claims some biblical knowledge, but does not claim biblical authority
- We promise you won’t just hear The Gospel According To Spencer!
