The Susquehanna Valley Ministry Center (SVMC) based at Elizabethtown
(Pa.) College is holding a series of continuing education events.
Heading the series is
“Lives of Devotion: Biblical Approaches to Spiritual Life” taught by biblical scholars Bob Neff and Christina Bucher.
“Lives of Devotion” will take participants beyond
the Psalter to delve into the Bible’s devotional texts and their varied
spiritual “dispositions.” Participants will study Jeremiah 11-20, Job
38-42, Song of Songs, and prayers in 1 and 2 Chronicles, especially the
“prayer of Jabez,” using Corinne Ware’s work on spirituality in later
Israel to guide reflection. The format will include both lecture and
discussion, with some questions posed to participants in advance. The
event is April 29, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. in the Susquehanna Room at
Elizabethtown College. Cost is $60 and includes light breakfast, lunch,
and 0.6 continuing education units. Registration and payment are due
April 13. For more information and a registration form go to
