SUNDAY MORNING CLASSES (9:15-10:15am)
September A-B Classroom (Sep 8-Oct 27) "New Understandings of Our Savior"
While we may have been Christians for many years, we likely find ourselves puzzled by a number of things which Jesus said and did. Utilizing an unusual contextual learning approach, this series focuses upon resolving these puzzlements and thereby bringing to us a broader understanding of our Lord than we have had. Led by Carl Dodrill
Fireside Room (Sep 8-Sep 29) "Beyond Open & Affirming:
Emerging Conversations for the LGBTQIA+ Competent Church"
Society's acceptance of LGBTQIA+ people and communities has increased dramatically over the last decade, and many churches have fully included gay and lesbian people into the life of the church. Even with this step forward, affirming faith communities at times find themselves unsure what it means to be the church alongside LGBTQIA+ people beyond "all are welcome."
