Adult Formation Classes:
Thoughts on Religion, Morality and Politics
(Sundays, March 10-24/Fresco Lobby)
On Sundays, March 10, 17 and 24, Ross Loeser and John Johnson will lead Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White—Thoughts on Religion, Morality and Politicies, a three-week Good Samaritan Class in the Fresco Lobby. It will be based on resources from the Reverend Adam Hamilton, whose United Methodist Church is as politically diverse as First Presbyterian.
We will listen and share in a spirit of loving God and each other as we discuss the following topics.
- March 10 – Where faith and politics meet
- March 17 – How should we live? The ethics of Jesus
- March 24 – What would Jesus say to America?
