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.

Bipolar Faith: A Black Woman’s Journey with Depression and Faith, by Monica Coleman
Please join us in October as we read Monica Coleman’s book Bipolar Faith: A Black Woman’s Journey with Depression and Faith. Coleman, who teaches theology and African American religions at Claremont School of Theology, shares the story of her life-long struggle with trauma and depression, and how, once she was able to face her illness, she was able to learn to live with it.
We hope this book will help us better understand our friends, family, and neighbors who struggle with mental illness, and learn to show them the love that we are shown by Christ.
We hope to see you there.
