AdultChristian Education:

Please join us for a special 2 week segment on Forgiveness led by Ann Preston. 10/12 and 10/19 at 9:30 a.m. Some of you may remember Ann from Camp Michael in 2007. We hope you can join us.

Later this month we are hoping you are all in the holiday spirit since we will be discussing Holiday Traditions and the Church. We will begin with a look at one theory that the Gospels were actually written to coincide with the Jewish holidays. We will then look at various Christian holidays and their origins. This will be a historical look at the holidays and their traditions. How much of what we do is actually rooted in Christian tradition and how much is actually pagan in origin? How has a secular society effected tradition? Please join us Sundays at 9:30 am.
