Sunday School back in session soon

Next Sunday, Sept. 12th, we will launch a new season of Sunday School for all of us - children, youth AND adults. For the children and youth, we will be experimenting with new models of learning together. This will take place upstairs in the annex beginning promptly at 9:30 a.m. For adults, there will be two distinct opportunities:

Holy Reading @ 10:00 a.m. During this 35 minute session in the upstairs
chapel, participants will be invited to “listen” to the weekly scripture utilizing a
simple rhythm of reading, listening and sharing.

What IS “The Heart of Christianity”? @ 9:30 a.m. Many of us have trouble
talking about our faith – what it is, how it works, and what it means. Sometimes,
we rely on earlier teaching that no longer resonates with us yet have no
idea what the alternatives might be. In the book, “The Heart of Christianity,”
Marcus Borg tackles “the basics” of faith in challenging and fresh ways. This
9-class series will be engage Borg’s book and be taught by Pastor Emily beginning Oct. 24th. [Between Sept. 12th and Oct. 24th, there will be a regular lectionary study for adults that will meet in the annex “blue room” beginning at 9:30 a.m.]

As we begin this new season of Sunday School, please prayerfully consider the invitation to keep learning and growing through the ministry of Sunday School.
