Adult Education Schedule: 2023 - 2024
Adults meet in the fellowship hall during the Sunday school hour (9:15-10:15am).
Each week someone from the congregation or a guest speaker presents on a chosen topic, and there is always time for a good discussion. The topic may come from the presenter's area of expertise or special interest, or it may be a discussion based on a book by a well-known and widely read author. (Reading the book is not required, and the presenter won't assume that you've done so.) Not every topic will come straight from the Bible, but they always come from the intersection of Christian faith and the life we're living.
We're pretty casual but always respectful of each other. You don't have to be an expert to attend, and certainly don't need to have the answers; sincere questions are always welcome.

Colossians Series
September 24, October 1, October 8: This three-week series is led by Dave Lincicum. Paul's epistle to the Colossians is a powerful pastoral letter that celebrates Christ in poetic terms, expresses concern for the fidelity of its recipients, and offers theologically-motivated practical ethics for living the Christian life. This series will offer the opportunity to study and discuss this brief but poignant letter together.
