Winter Session of Adult Faith Conversations
The Winter session of our Adult Faith Conversations will begin on Sunday, January 12th, at 10:45am. We are offering three opportunities again, this time.
Anke Brandstater is back with a new conversation called Soul Passages, based on the book, Nature and the Human Soul (no need to purchase the book). In this conversation, participants will explore a ‘soul-centric’ approach to the different phases we travel through along the journey of human life.
Chris Moore also returns to facilitate a conversation called Faith, Sexuality and the Church. In this conversation participants will discuss the various viewpoints within the church regarding sexual orientation and the role of marriage.
Rhonda Eppelsheimer (along with special guest co-facilitators) will continue to facilitate the weekly, topical Daily Faith conversations.
The Winter Session of Adult Faith Conversation will last from January 12th through March 2nd. Look for fuller descriptions of the conversations coming in early January and the first opportunity to sign up on Sunday, January 5th.
We hope you have a Happy New Year!
Donations for Bender Family
The Service and Missions Team started a donation drive for the Bender family this past week.The Benders are members of our church who are in need of some financial help for the next 4 months. Our goal is to raise $1,600 to $2,000. Envelopes for donations are available in the entry and can be dropped in the offering basket. Please write "Bender" in the memo line of your check. After your donations are deposited into our Compassion Fund the funds will be distributed directly to the Bender family to help cover their expenses. We are very close to our goal thanks to you and all your generosity! The Benders are also in need of an economical car for transportation to and from the hospital. So if you are aware of someone who is able to donate or loan a car, please contact John Heffner at heffnerjm@gmail.com.
