Adult Spiritual Growth Offerings

Beginning Genealogy

Sunday, August 17, at 11:15am. Meet in South Hall.

Join us as we continue the journey to learn about your family history with the next class on the U.S. Census. The census is one of the most important records to use in your search showing you where they lived, where they and their parents were born, their age, race, marital status, who lived in the household and their relationships, occupation, and immigration status.

The information from each census alone gives you a snapshot of the family, but by combining several years together, you can begin to see patterns in occupation, residences and many other characteristics that can help you discover the stories of your ancestors. And there are always surprises!

Please contact Cindy Newton or the church office to sign up for the class.

Contemplative Scripture Study

Based on the lectionary (scripture readings of the week)

The second and fourth Sundays of the month at 4pm. Meet in person in the chapel. Facilitated by Valeria Stutz and Jennifer Blakeney.

Join in creating community through collective reading and inquiry of the lectionary passages (scripture readings of the week), followed by periods of silence to explore the personal significance of the passage. We will have the opportunity to share with our small group, the way we are called to bring this message into our life. After this we will pray for each other. This is a deeply meaningful way to bring scripture into our lives and make deep connections with each other. Child care available if noted on sign up.
