Here’s a list of what’s happening this week in our Adult Education Church School classes.
Journey with Scripture | Highland Room and Zoom
The Journey with Scripture class reads scripture readings listed in the Revised Common Lectionary. Participants seek encouragement from God—towards the direction of steadfast love, justice, and faithfulness in their lives. Prior knowledge of the scriptures is not necessary. Contact Sara Hackett for details.
Join us as we relate to the year “C” liturgical calendar, which includes the Gospels of Luke and John. The Scriptures will expand and deepen our understanding of our 500-year, “Reformed, Ever Reforming” faith legacy and ELPC’s 217 Sanctuary’s stained-glass windows.
Combined Adult Class | Good Samaritan Room and Zoom
This week, the Seekers and Soul Food classes will meet in the Good Samaritan Room for Linda Lane’s presentation on The Long Black Quest for Reparations, facilitated by Gwen Puza. Growing up Black in America meant hearing about getting “40 acres and mule,” more as a joke than anything else. However, reparations to those who had been enslaved was briefly the law. In 1865, General William T. Sherman issued Special Field Order 15. In 2021, Evanston, Illinois, became the first American city to compensate its Black citizens for past discrimination. Contact Gwen Puza for more information.
