Adult Education Opportunities
During the program year (Sept. through April), we offer Sunday morning adult education sessions after worship and fellowship time. Most weeks feature guest speakers whose topics range from immigration policy to recycling practices. Topics and speakers are posted here in advance.
In this post-pandemic world, we will be offering weekly Adult Ed sessions via Zoom, and in person, every Sunday morning at 11:00. Join us!
Sunday Morning Adult Education began again in September. Please join us.

Intergenerational Palm
Parade Showing Solidarity with Ukraine – Please join us in the back parking
lot as we don donkey ears – shout hosannas, and walk the red carpet of cloaks
and branches, remembering Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem! This also
could be an opportunity to show our solidarity with the people of Ukraine. Jesus’
entry into Jerusalem, where he would confront the powers of empire is
mirrored so much in the bravery of the people of Ukraine, facing down the
powers of empire. |
