Adult Christian Education
Adult Forum
During the program year (September through May) at 9:00 am, adults are invited to gather in the church lounge for stimulating discussion and study of the Bible. Please join us!
Upcoming topics:
November 16: The Book of Numbers, Ray Anderson
Numbers is the fourth book of the Hebrew Scriptures. It tells the story of the people of Israel as they wandered in the wilderness moving toward the land promised to them, Canaan. The forum will consider important themes in this book.
November 23: The Reign of Christ, Stacy Johnson Myers
The last Sunday of the church year is designated as “The Reign of Christ.” The forum will study how Christ and the way of Christ shape the world.
November 30: No Forum
December 7: Advent Images, Stacy Johnson Myers
The season of Advent is filled with a variety of biblical and liturgical images. Come and consider some of these images and their importance at the Adult Forum.
December 14: The Genealogy of Jesus, Ray Anderson
Matthew’s story of Jesus’ life begins with a very long statement outlining Jesus’ genealogy. The forum will ponder Matthew’s theological reasons for linking Jesus to the likes of both Abraham and King David.
