Lunch & Learn Studies
Thinking Makes Life and Faith More Meaningful
One secret to a full life:
Keep on learning.
One way to do just that:
Join in Lunch & Learn discussions.
This past year Lunch & Learn has lost several wonderful, productive members of Salem to death. We have picked up others, but we strongly encourage all our adult member to consider joining us for our regular one hour sessions, which are currently happening on Zoom, every Thursday at 11:30 a.m. We pray and laugh, and think about a variety of topics that are interesting and important to our faith.
Our current topic is “The Universal Christ,” and getting back to the biblical truth that we can see God everywhere in creation and in all our fellow human beings.

Don’t Let Your Bible Gather Dust. Study It and Grow with NIOBS.
Northern Illinois Online Bible Study (NIOBS) has been gathering Bible lovers to pray and study the Bible together for over three years. We meet every Monday evening for an hour, starting at 7:00 pm Central Time.
The Spirit helps us read together, ask our questions, and share the wisdom we have to offer each other. We usually devote eight weeks to each book of the Bible we study, and we are especially blessed to have many of the world’s leading scholars of Scripture join our conversation.
On Monday, May 1, we will wrap up our study of the Gospel of John, after which we will launch into a book we will be choosing over the final weeks of April.
You owe it to yourself to draw guidance and inspiration from God’s Word; and one of the best ways to do that these days is to join the lively hours of NIOBS.
Here’s the Zoom link that will work for any of our Monday sessions:
