Adult Sunday School

After our worship hour and some time for coffee, tea, and visiting, adults gather back in the sanctuary for a time of Christian Education. This might take the shape of a Bible study, further discussion of the day's sermon, thoughts and discernment about a contemporary issue, or occasionally even a hymn sing.

Every Creature Singing - Embracing the Good News for Planet Earth

Beginning January 11, 2026, Adult Education will focus on a 12-week curriculum series called "Every Creature Singing."  This curriculum has four components:

• A biblical emphasis, using a method of interpretation that we are calling an ecological lens.
• A focus on your local community using questions we call circle questions.
• Suggested spiritual practices.
• Suggested household practice.
