Beginning September 10th, Dave Johnson will lead an 8-week class called “Christian Belief.” This is a course on the Christian faith for everyone–new believers, seekers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Christian faith. Each evening begins with a meal, followed by a talk and then Q&A. The talks aim to cover the basic beliefs of the Christian faith. The complete list of topics are below. Click the title for the notes to that session.

Dinner begins at 6pm and the class will last from 6:30-7:30pm. Free childcare is available.  In order to help with planning for meals and childcare, please email Dave Johnson (dave@christchurchcville.org) to RSVP.

  • "Of the Father's Love Begotten"

    He is found in human fashion, Death and sorrow here to know, That the race of Adam's children Doomed by law to endless woe, May not henceforth die and perish In the dreadful gulf below, Evermore and evermore! O that birth forever blessed, When the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, Bare the Savior of our race; And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, First revealed His sacred face, Evermore and evermore!

The Word

When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:4-7)

The Prayer

O God, you make us glad by the yearly festival of the birth of your only Son Jesus Christ: Grant that we, who joyfully receive him as our Redeemer, may with sure confidence behold him when he comes to be our Judge; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 212)
