Women's Oasis: 4-Week Series
2024-05-01 18:30 - 20:30 | The Square, 9900 Old Keene Mill Rd, Burke, VA, 22015, United States
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. ~ Hebrews 11:1
During this 4-week series in May, women in the community are invited to gather and explore how God interacts with us in a very personal way and invites us to journey with Him through a personal relationship rooted in faith. Participants are invited to disconnect from their daily troubles and to explore what truly matters. A free dinner is provided, followed by panel discussions where attendees will listen to the personal experiences of women who choose faith in Christ, an opportunity to explore what the Bible says about how God interacts with us, and time to reflect on how these things relate to each of us in our personal journey.
There is no cost to attend. Free childcare is available as well. Register today at: burkecommunity.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2190/responses/new

During our time, women of faith who have journeyed painful and difficult circumstances will share their experiences and shed light on what a relationship with God is like when you feel knocked down and on the verge of defeat. This is an opportunity to learn, listen and share, while considering how this impacts you on your journey.
May 22: Exploring God’s Faithfulness
What is God’s character over time? We change – we draw near – we fall away – we succeed – we fail – we are wise – we are fools. Basically, we’re a mess! What about God? What can we expect from Him over time? Will He ever let us down? Join us as we explore this topic. During our time, we will hear stories of women who have journeyed in relationship with God through it all and can attest to what it’s like to commit to this long-term relationship. This is an opportunity to learn, listen and share, while considering how this impacts you on your journey.

For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him. 2 Samuel 22:29-31

2024-05-03 17:00 - 2024-05-04 17:00 | Burke Community Church, 9900 Old Keene Mill Rd, Burke, VA, 22015, United States
Few would deny that we are living in polarizing times. Whether it’s over politics, religion or any number of social issues, it seems like people are in a constant state of conflict. And like parents of squabbling children, most are growing weary of the battle. But how is a Christian to respond? By simply being who Christ called us to be. Followers of Jesus Christ have the one and only answer for a divided world; the one and only way to peace. We are united in Him. Against a backdrop of back-biting and division, our Christian unity stands out like a candle in a pitch-black room. When we are united in our devotion to Jesus, we offer a view of a life everybody needs and, deep inside, everybody wants. GO 2024 is all about how we set that example, how we can be united for the cause of Christ.

The History of Christianity in North America
2024-06-23 09:00 - 10:30 | Room 1003, 9900 Old Keene Mill Rd, Burke, VA, 22015, United States
The course is intended to make attendees aware of the church’s roots in North America as it accompanied European explorers in the 16th and 17th centuries and how it has progressed to the current state. Since this migration of people and faith is concurrent with the Protestant Reformation, the split between Catholics and Protestants and the ensuing religious and political conflicts that marked the period will be covered. New faith groups (denominations) would emerge in North America seeking to avoid the political struggles or persecution in Europe. The course will discuss the establishment of the Pilgrim/Puritan colony in Massachusetts, the Anglican-oriented colony in Virginia and the emergence of new Protestant groups seeking religious freedom from the Church of England.
The course will also cover the French Catholic presence in Canada (New France), the small but influential Dutch Reform-oriented colony in New York (New Amsterdam) and of course the sizable Spanish Catholic presence in Mexico, the American Southwest, Florida and the Caribbean. The establishment of an independent United States in 1783 would have a profound impact of the church in America, with no state church and greatly expanded religious freedoms. In fact, the relationship of religious freedoms with political freedoms were closely linked, sometimes with profound challenges for the Protestant dominated church in America, particularly with the separation caused by slavery and the greater acceptance of secularism associated with scientific culture based around Darwinism. I will cover major religious movements such as the First and Second Great Awakenings, Modern Revivalism, the birth of the American evangelist/missionary movement, the growth of Catholicism in the late 19th century and other movements affecting the church like Mormonism, Charismatics, the establishment of the Black church, and interaction/witnessing to indigenous peoples.
The course will last eleven weeks, starting on June 2nd and cover the period of 1500 to the present, with detailed coverage on different periods and topics. I do plan to cover the major American denominations that appear as well as the associated church governance principles these groups embraced. It is not my intent to criticize or judge any of these groups, but rather explain what they are and how and why they came into existence. I will be presenting this information through talk and accompanying slides. I am still looking for a simple and relatively inexpensive book to accompany the class. I have a couple books I use, mainly, A History of Christianity in the United States and Canada by Mark Noll.
