Adult Forums to Innovate with Three Streams and Summer Reading Discussion Events
Instead of having just one offering at 9:00 am on Sunday morning, we are planning to have three “streams” running at the same time. We feel that this will bring more variety to our offerings and better meet the needs of our congregation.
Starting on Sunday, September 17, the three streams will each have a different focus.
· Mark and Teresa Hixson will be leading a Bible study based on the sermon of the day.
· Christina will lead a contemplative stream that will focus on spiritual practices.
· Laura Hargreaves will lead a course on parenting.
Book Discussion Events
Intergenerational Conversations
An intergenerational book discussion was held around the book The Promise on Sunday, Sept. 10. Another intergenerational discussion event will be held around the book Charlotte's Web. Date Night/Movie Night on Saturday, November 11, will feature the movie version. Sunday, November 12, the 9:00 am Forum will host the discussion of the book. You won't want to miss the opportunity to hear from some of our youngest parish members!
Adult Ed Conversations
There is still time to finish the other books. Book discussions for My Grandmother's Hands and Rest as Resistance: A Manifesto will be taking place during our Advent Adult-Ed this year. We will be incorporating some of the rich spiritual practices from these books into our liturgical season.
