Return to Christian Education

Adult Education

Life Together Wednesday Please join us on Wednesdays at 12 p.m. in Anderson Hall as we start a new Life Together series. Pastor John will be teaching a class on Christian Nationalism, what it is, why folks are drawn to it and the inherent dangers in the same both historically and in the current moment. Bring your own lunch. Everyone is welcome. As a group, we’ll explore Jesus’ teaching contrasted to a white, male-dominated agenda (Christian nationalism) which perverts the Gospel of Jesus’ love and proclamation of justice. 

“Who Am I Now?” Group
A Study for Older Adults Using the Book Autumn Wisdom: Finding Meaning in Life’s Later Years

Do you ever wonder:

• What is my purpose now?
• What have I learned, and what am I meant to learn?
• What brought me to this place in my spiritual journey, and what’s next?

Take this opportunity to join other adults in exploring the experiences, questions, hopes, and meaning in life’s later years. Leaders will host groups in a variety of settings: in homes, at church, and on Zoom. Each group will set its own time and frequency of meeting.
If you’d like more information, talk with a Congregational Care Ministry (CCM) team member: Sandy Aldworth, Bonnie Brice, Jo Hess, Jean Pickering, Ann Thomas, or Jen Winslow, or email Ann at annlthomas@gmail.com.
There will be sign-up sheets available after worship on Sunday, January 8 (and January 15 & 22). You can sign up on the sheet that lists the group setting that will work best for you.

A Study of Galatians: In the late Spring of 2021, we studied the book of Galatians. It is thought to be the first of Paul’s letters, an astonishing text written to a community who had forgotten or simply neglected the very message of freedom the Apostle had originally proclaimed. The book remains ever so pertinent to our lives as Christians living in the 21st century. You can listen to the recordings of the weekly sessions below:
