Sunday Morning Education Hour has some great offerings for adults to grow, stretch, deepen and ground their faith and practice. Adults of every age and stage are welcome – young adults to senior citizens. Some courses are three or four weeks and some last for several months. We try to address these broad themes: Bible Study, Big Questions, Equipping the Saints, Life and Nurture, Mission, Spirituality, and The Twenty-First Century.
Classes begin promptly at 9:30 a.m., so come and grab your coffee or tea at the Wake-Up Station, and join a conversation! Classes conclude by 10:25 a.m., so that if you are a person who attends the 10:30 a.m. service, you have enough time to gather for worship.
New November class:
What Makes Presbyterians Presbyterian – led by Pastor Sue Lowcock Harris
November 10, 17, 24—Room 258
Have you ever wondered how to answer this question? What is it that gives Presbyterians a distinct identity, mission and calling as Christian people?
Join Pastor Sue in a three week conversation about a few of the things that Presbyterians contribute, carry and embody within the larger Body of Christ, and bring to the life of the world.
Everybody is welcome to participate in this conversation: newer members and friends of First Church, as well as long-term and lifelong Presbyterians.
