SUNDAY MORNING ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM

Study of Acts of the Apostles Begins September 11, 2011

During the summer the Board of Christian Education planned an exciting year of Sunday morning adult education events. Among other topics, we’ll explore religion and architecture, the church and disabilities, science and faith, and issues relating to hunger both globally and locally in the coming year.

We’re starting the year with a study of the Book of Acts. Since the mid-twentieth century, much has changed in our society and the role of the church. Christianity no longer enjoys the kind of taken-for-granted support in and from the society it once did. Today American society is an officially secular, religiously pluralistic, and ethnically diverse one. In many ways, this is also the world of the Acts of the Apostles. In this six week series we’ll study the Book of Acts to grow in our knowledge and understanding of Scripture, to hear God’s word for us and for our church today, and to grow in our friendship with one another.

Megan Carnes will be leading this series that will meet in Rockwood Hall each Sunday morning at 9:15 for six weeks beginning September 11. Copies of the Study Guide are available in Rockwood Hall and the church office.
