Education and
Spiritual Formation

Our Mission: To develop in all our participants, as they question and search: an understanding of their own Christian faith in a way that respects other faiths, an understanding of themselves and the knowledge that they are loved, good relationships in their families, in the church and in the larger community, and a calling to work for peace and justice among all peoples of the world.

A Year Through the Bible

This class looks at how the Bible came to be, with an overview of each book of the Bible. The goal is to become more familiar with all the books of the Bible. You can join in at any point. The class meets in the Welcoming Room off the foyer. Babs Miller serves as convener.

Across the Threshold, into the Questions: Discovering Jesus, Finding Self

Book by Ted Voorhees and Caren Goldman. Art Rutherford conducts the class. In this thought-provoking book the authors' penetrating open-ended questions are an invitation to interact with the gospel characters in a new and deeper way. Their personal stories show how the age-old tales are relevant today, and their choices of quotations allow the reader to see how people through history have engaged these same questions. The class meets in the St. Andrews Library.

February 12

All the Women of the Bible

All the Women of the Bible (one at a time): So many of the stories we hear from the Bible are about men. Have you ever wondered about the women in the Bible? Peggy Stoll thought it would be fun and interesting to go through the Bible and, one by one, listen to women's stories--voices not always heard. Come and learn more about the Mothers of our faith. The class meets in the Welcoming Room off the foyer, facilitated by Peggy Stoll.

Bible Study - Tuesdays, 10 - 11:00am

Jim Rigby teaches a lively and informative class on a part of the Bible. Jim's description: "For the next few months we are going to take some time to study pre-christian influences on our faith. We will begin with the Golden Verses of Pythagoras, then we will look at the Nag Hammadi texts of Egypt, then we will finish by looking at the book of Revelation as influenced by earlier forms of poetry, particularly Babylonian. We will look at these earlier writings and then see if we can see their influence on parts of the Bible with which we are more familiar."
