Adult Faith Formation
Still Waters
We meet the first Saturday of each month at 11 a.m. in the church library. This is a time for prayer, a light meal, and conversation. The topic for October 5 is "The Sabbath"--what it is all about, where it came from, and how it can work for us. There will be a Sabbath set up and appropriate prayers, and a fabulous Sabbath meal. Please contact Kathie Sandmaier to reserve your place. As the weather begins to cool down take this time to warm up your soul a bit.
Bible Study
We have Bible study every Wednesday at 11 a.m. We meet in person in the church library. September 18 will be the conclusion of our discussions of the Book of Tobit. On September 25 conversations on the Gospel According to Matthew will begin. Our hour consists of communal prayer, attention to scripture as it applies to our lives, and fellowship. If you have any questions contact Kathie. We look forward to new faces.
Peace Gatherings
Gatherings for Oneness, A Prayer for Peace, will happen on our front lawn at 4:30 the last Saturday of every month through October. These prayer times will be short with everyone welcome. It is open to all faiths. There is much to pray for in the world today and this is something that all of us can do.
Book Club
Our book club meets approximately quarterly by Zoom. We have been focusing on works that explore the intersection between social issues and our faith. Some of our recent books have included The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (by Rebecca Skloot), Wholehearted Faith (by Rachel Evans with Jeff Chu), Mountains Beyond Mountains (by Tracy Kidder), Just Mercy (by Bryan Stevenson), The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek (by Kim Michele Richardson), and Poverty, by America (by Matthew Desmond). We have not yet selected our next book or set a date for our next discussion. If you are interested in joining, please contact the office at [email protected].
