Adult Formation
We deepen our faith through reading, questioning, discussing, praying, and learning.
Lenten Programs
This season of Lent, we have two special offerings: In Our Holy Imagination: Seeing Jesus in Our Everyday World and Luke’s Gospel and the Great Reversal. All are welcome to join us!
In Our Holy Imagination:
Seeing Jesus in Our Everyday World
Sundays from 8:30-9:15am
March 2, 16, 23, 30
Join Andrew Wilkinson before worship for a creative, thought-provoking look at how we recognize Jesus in our daily lives. Through Scripture, discussion, and a little imagination, we’ll open our hearts to see Him more clearly in the world around us.
This is an interactive, uplifting time to reflect, share, and be encouraged. Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith or just curious, you are welcome!
8:30-8:45: Loaves and Fishes
In the spirit of Jesus feeding the 5,000, we’re sharing bagels and smoked salmon! So come hungry—physically and spiritually—and BYO coffee or drink to complete the experience.
8:45-9:15: Discussion
Themes
March 2
Encountering Jesus in Everyday Life.
Scripture: Luke 24:13-35 (Road to Emma
Many times, Jesus is walking beside us, but we don’t recognize Him. Just like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, we can be so caught up in our worries, routines, and distractions that we miss His presence in our daily lives. Help us open our eyes to see Jesus walking with us in our ordinary moments.
Luke’s Gospel and the Great Reversal
Thursdays from 6:30-7:30pm
March 13-April 10 via Zoom, April 17 at church
This year’s Lenten Bible Study, led by Mike Minutello, will discuss the theme of the great reversal in Luke’s Gospel and its implications for modern Christian discipleship. We’ll pay particular attention to how the gospel portrays gender and class dynamics.
