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 this fall as we relate both the Psalms and the liturgical calendar’s Gospel of Mark with the “Heavenly Hosts.” Our scriptures will expand and deepen our understanding of our “Reformed, Ever Reforming” legacy.
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.
Gerald McClendon on His Work as Mission Coordinator of ELPC
Gerald McClendon, Mission Coordinator of ELPC, will share his journey from living in the ELPC homeless shelter to entering EECM Bridge housing. After working in the homeless shelter, he came to work in the ELPC facilities department, while attending CCAC in the Social Work Foundation program. Upon graduating, Pastor Patrice hired him as an assistant for the ELPC Assistance Program. He is now head of the program, ministering to people needing help with rent or mortgage, utilities, or medication costs. We also will hear about ELPC’s work with other organizations, like East End Cooperative Ministry.
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.
