A Study on the Psalms

For 6 weeks, October 15 to November 19, Deb Burnet and Bob Klonowski will lead a study on the Psalms in Augustana’s Sunday adult class, 9:45 to 10:30 a.m.  

Martin Luther called the Psalms “the Bible in miniature,” saying that all the key themes of the Bible are  summarized there. We will approach the Psalms thematically as you see on the schedule, seeking to weave the Psalms into our everyday lives, our prayers, and our Christian identity.
