* Alternative: Do September 4 as a “one-off”—Labor Day or Back to School or Laity Sunday, or Philemon,  then start a 7 week series in I Timothy, skipping the 2 Timothy readings entirely. Conclude on October 23 with what is now week 3 (September 25). Add the following themes: September 25: I Timothy 3: 1-13 “Qualification of Spiritual Leaders: Head Pastors and Deacons;” October 2: I Timothy 3:14-4:5 “Living Out the Mystery;” October 9: I Timothy 5:1-21, “Honoring One Another;” October 16: I Timothy 6:6-10, “Cultivating the True Riches”
