Adult Church School

Conversations with the Pastor - The Front Page and the Scripture for the Day - Join Alex Evans in the Library for informal conversation about current events and the Scripture being preached on each Sunday.

Faith and Literature – This Class will be reading short stories and plays together and discussing their relation to our faith. This class will meet in the Third Floor Conference Room.

April 7 - "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson

April 14 - "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" by Ernest Hemingway (tentative)
April 21 - "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The Book of Mark – Fred Rose will lead this Bible Study of the Book of Mark. We are hoping Dr. Brian Blount will be able to join us for a few of these classes. This class will meet in the Pastor’s Classroom on the Third Floor.

 

Anticipating God’s Promise of Eternal Life – Practical and Theological Conversations about Death and Dying - How do we plan for the end of life?  What shapes our attitudes and our beliefs? What will help us to care for family members nearing the end of their lives?  How do we anticipate the best course of action for ourselves?  When should we communicate what we want to family members?

These and other questions will be the subject of a Spring Series for Adults during the Church School hour.  We will consider both theological lessons about dying and practical advice about making our own choices. Information on caregiver support, understanding dementia, legal issues, and medical ethics will be included. This class will meet in the Dining Room.
