Adult Education
On Wednesday nights at 7:00 and Sunday mornings at 8:45am, join us in the lounge for our Weekly Adult Education classes. Multiple topics are covered throughout the year using videos and books . Our current series of study is:
We are starting a new series in Adult Ed having just finished the New Testament. It is called Vital Conversations on Immigration and each week features speakers addressing issues and situations faced by immigrants and how we might better understand their situations and respond in a compassionate manner. It is more of a series on understanding than one on activism per se, but we are all called to love our neighbor and understanding some of their issues is a good place to start. This is brought to you jointly by Church and Society and Adult Education, and I am happy to have Carol Rigler helping lead the sessions. It is a five week series and will take us up to our Summer break. Each week’s conversation is independent of the others. Feel free to join us whenever!
I hope to see you and your friends Sunday at 8:45 in the Lounge or Wednesdays at 7:00 pm on Zoom (link below)! Please forward to friends!
Any questions, please contact Mark Hackler at hackler@optonline.net or 732-918-0344. This series should run through the Fall and into the New Year.
