Adult Forum

Grace’s Adult Discussion Group meets 9:30 am–10:20 am Sundays from September through May to explore challenging topics related to the expression of our Christian faith in the modern world, generally organized in series of six to eight weeks in length. Recent series have included: “Forgiveness;” “Race and Ethnicity in the Bible;” “Labor and Immigration;” “The Revelation to John: Judgment and Hope;” and “Women in the Bible.”

Each session begins with a brief presentation, followed by questions and discussion. Coffee’s always on! The Rector generally, though not exclusively, leads the Forum.

All are welcome! No pre-registration is required, and it’s not necessary to attend every session in a series. Just join us—come through the red metal doors north of the church proper, and turn left into the Parish Hall.

Fall 2011: Love and Its Disciplines

Join us for this year-long series based on Paul’s letters and Dante’s Purgatory, the subjects of the Rector’s sabbatical writing project.
