Adult Education Starts THIS Sunday, 3/1

"Intergenerational Communities in Luke’s Gospel and Acts." 

Congregations today frequently wrestle with questions surrounding age: What does it mean to be an intergenerational community? How should the church engage and welcome people of all ages? What does a life of faith look like from youth to old age? 

Luke’s Gospel and Acts help us as we grapple with these questions. These texts depict Jesus in different stages of life, show how Jesus engages people of all ages, and reveal both the joys and the challenges of intergenerational community. In this class, we will discuss how faith is formed, shared, and sustained across generations—both in biblical texts and in congregations today. 

The facilitator for this class will be the Rev. Dr. Heidi Biermann, who currently serves as the West Central Connector for the Presbytery of the Inland Northwest. She holds a ThD in New Testament from Duke Divinity School, an MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary, and a BA from Whitworth University.

Join us Sundays at 10:45 AM in the Skylight Room March 1, 8, 15, and 22.

Lent Wednesday Morning Bible Study - Starts March 4

"Have We Trials and Temptations?"

Join us during the season of Lent as we dive deeply into stories from the last days of Jesus’ life on earth. We’ll explore texts from all four gospels as we journey to the cross together. As Jesus experiences denial, loneliness, injustice, cruelty, and death, we’ll consider how his suffering speaks to our own pain and the pain of the world. We’ll meet Wednesdays in the Skylight Room at 9:30 AM. This series begins March 4 once our current series concludes on February 25.
