The Adult Faith Formation class meets each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in room 202. The format is discussion-oriented, and several class members share the teaching responsibilities.
Our current study is The Final Words From the Cross. Every Sunday during Lent, we’ll focus on Christ’s dying hours and his final words as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of those who stood near the cross. Each week, we’ll focus on one of the characters at the cross and reflect upon one of the seven final statements of Jesus as we seek to understand the meaning of Jesus’ dying words for our lives today.
The study comes with a weekly devotional and guide designed to help you reflect on what it means to be a witness at the cross.
Previous class topics have included: The History & Beliefs of the United Church of Christ; Adam Hamilton’s DVD series, The Walk; Spiritual Practices, and others.
Weekday Bible/Book Studies are offered at different times throughout the year.
2025 Lenten Study
Life is this strange, tender mix, isn’t it? Joy and sorrow, love and loss, heartbreak and hope, all tangled together.
This year, embrace Lent as it is—raw, honest, and tender. Let these 40 days be a time to pause, reflect, and find the courage to stay with the hard part, trusting that the good part is still coming.
Join Grace on Thursdays during Lent at 10 a.m. in the Parlor. No books or prep are required. The classes will run from March 6 to April 24.
Guest Lecturers are often invited to the church to provide a weekend workshop/seminar for the congregation and community. Past speakers have included:
- John Dominic Crossan
- Tex Sample
- Philip Gulley
- Dr. Julia O’Brien
