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.
Seekers | Garth Overlook Room and Zoom
The Seekers wish to grow in religious understanding, insight, faith, and practice. Classes create a space for spiritual and intellectual exploration, enrichment, and sharing. Together we seek a broad, inclusive dialogue, including respecting and learning about other faith traditions. All viewpoints are welcomed. Contact Gwen Puza for more information.
The Long Black Quest for Reparations, A Brief History
ELPC member Alexander Payton invites Seekers into a reflective journey through the often untold or unseen stories of Black Presbyterians and their contributions to the Presbyterian Church. By engaging with historical accounts, theological insights, and the narratives of resilience and faith, we will explore how these stories illuminate the intersections of race, faith, and community.
Grounded in Christ’s call to love and unity, we will reflect on how these narratives can deepen our shared faith and guide us toward living out the love of God in meaningful and transformative ways.
Soul Food | Good Samaritan Room and Zoom
Soul Food focuses on feeding our spirits and nurturing our awareness of God’s presence. We use a prayerful, contemplative format that includes small group discussions of spiritually nourishing texts and personal experiences. For more information, contact the Rev. Joe Hajdu.
