Sunday, September 21st: Faith Conversations for all ages begin!
Adult Faith Conversations
This seven week series will begin on September 21st, after worship and coffee and finish at 11:45. We invite you to consider which Conversation interests you:
BOUNDARIES , facilitated by Chris Moore, will focus on the book, Boundaries, by Dr.s Henry Cloud & John Townsend. Let’s explore together what it means to set healthy boundaries in our lives.
THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS: WISDOM OF THE TWIN, facilitated by Anke Brandstater. Using a book written by Lynn Bauman, we will explore the Gospel of Thomas, a non-canonical gospel that was written in the early second century.
DAILY FAITH, facilitated by Rhonda Eppelsheimer. This is a weekly discussion centered on issues of faith and daily life. The topics vary from week to week. What are the faith questions you wrestle with? What does it mean to live every day from a Christian perspective?
